The article won't load for me, but how would non citizens get on the registered voter lists?

If they even tried, this is what would happen.

Yeah if election critics have specific problems to point out, by all means do so. Otherwise quit flinging out baseless accusations and just generally making things worse for everyone for no reason.

I guess Glenn has to start parroting party talking points (racism) for when he tries to make a run for president. Nevermind that non-citizen voting is near impossible.

Reminder: Glenn thinks he deserves to lead because he has money.

Most of the 6,303-name purge stemmed from errors on paperwork at the Department of Motor Vehicles, officials said. In many cases, legal citizens simply forgot to check a box indicating citizenship, registrars and other elections officials said. In other cases, rather than trying to evade detection, people flagged themselves as noncitizens while filling out the voter registration forms that the DMV automatically generates during routine transactions, Susan Beals, the Youngkin-appointed state elections commissioner, told lawmakers last month.

Yep figured as much.

This is part of the plan the GOP has been putting together since election night on 2020, long before this election cycle, long before January 6th, to ensure permanent one-party rule. Any vote not for Trump or other Republicans over the winning margin is going to be claimed to be by an illegal non-citizen voter.

The only stories I ever see about voter fraud is either some dumbass Republican telling me it's happening or a story where they caught a Republican committing voter fraud. This is a made up issue that is entirely the rights creation (and causation)

He could do like Kris Kobach (R) of Kansas did: commission a huge study of hundreds of lions of votes only to find less than a dozen fraudulent ones. But he still went on to claim fraud was rampant and worked for the Trump administration investigating voter fraud.
