  1. It’s how Jeb Bush secured the 2000 Presidential election for Bush/Cheney.

  2. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, you know, like all the other douchebaggery conservatives do.

  3. Seems to me that every legal voter removed from voting rolls represents evidence of voter suppression. No process is perfect, but I’d think 3400 voters is enough evidence to sue the state over the process.

  4. republican ideology is so unpopular among the people that the only way they can get elected is by a combination of voter suppression, gerrymandering, lies, exploitation of religious belief, and fear mongering

  5. GOP – If you can’t win their vote, stop them from voting!

  6. Republicans in Virginia are doing everything they can to suppress the vote in Democratic areas. Purging voter rolls, closing voting places, spreading misinformation, intimidating voters, etc.

    Fuck these cheating republicans. We need a blue wave in order to keep Virginia from descending into Youngkin’s dystopia

  7. An innocent question from a non-American. We hear of these “purges” often. Are they trackable by party affiliation? Are we to assume that the vast majority impacted are of a different party than the sitting governor?

  8. Should be a criminal charge for every legal voter improperly removed.
    There are likely laws already on the books that could be used.

  9. Are there more young people registered to vote? I hope so. We can’t let VA keep having this asshole

  10. We are going to need historical turnout to combat this kind of voter suppression and dirty tricks from the Republicans. It will be essential to reach as many voters as possible.

    There are elections as soon as Nov 7th in a few weeks. We will need to work at every level to elect more Dems over the next year. Join r/VoteDEM to find out how to get involved to elect Dems across the country, phonebank, textbank, volunteer, knock on doors or donate. Make a plan to vote and take someone with you

  11. This is the guy who says if they win in Virginia they can pass a national abortion ban.

  12. Just call it voter suppression, that’s exactly what it is.

  13. Ha yes committing election crimes before the election. Tis the Republican way.

  14. Those are kiddy numbers; here in Ohio, 26,000 voters got purged.

  15. Hey that sounds like something a fascist might do. Huh!

  16. Republicans: “Well, yeah, if we didn’t cheat we couldn’t win.”

  17. I don’t understand why throughout the nation Dems don’t just switch parties. Suppress the asshat GOP candidacies during the primary and then vote blue in the general. It will throw a wrench in the gerrymander effort as a bonus

  18. Hmm, between this and the recent North Carolina gerrymandering. How the fuck are those two not related? Coordinated effort to undermine the democratic electoral process. I call bullshit

  19. Keep track of how many red states are doing this right about now. It’s all before before Election Day but too soon to notify these thousands of people that they’ve been removed from the voter roles so they can’t contest getting tossed.

  20. Virginia fucked up so bad electing this douchebag. “Oh but what about parents rights?!” Fuck off.

  21. Hmm, and right before the state legislature elections… hmmm,hmmm, and which party says that the other cheats to win elections?

  22. Are these purged voters …… black by any chance??

  23. These voters should sue Youngkin personally for this.

  24. They’ve been reinstated thankfully. Hope everyone in Virginia votes!

  25. You’d think there would be a bigger process to this though. If you can just find out that you were removed from voter registration, and there was no reason or correspondence about it at all, then how is it okay??

  26. Pretty sure shit like this is going to mean this forum is going to have lift its requirement for civility and politeness.

    When everyone sees clearly that the only path for one party in a two party system to retain a voice let alone rule is through voter suppression, grift, lies, gerrymandering, and the like,

    Including that party,

    And it bends irredeemably away from the path of democracy,

    It’s time to put it down.
