The Department of Justice’s recent lawsuit against Virginia marked the second attempt in as many weeks from the federal government to stop states from cleaning their voter registration lists in the lead-up to the election.

The DOJ’s lawsuits against Virginia and Alabama came only after the department had also filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin and intervened in cases in Arizona and Ohio, an aggressive string that is illustrative of the Biden administration’s heavy hand in the voting process in the months and weeks before Election Day.

In Virginia and Alabama, the DOJ alleged that election officials’ efforts to remove noncitizens from their voter rolls were a violation of a National Voter Registration Act provision that restricts a state from systematically removing people from its voter registration list in the 90 days before an election.

I guess I'm asking myself why didn't these states do this 2 or more months ago? Not that I disagree with their actions, but if that is indeed the law, doing so this late was just asking the politicized DOJ to come swooping in to stop it. Like anything, if deadlines are in place, work to meet them in a timely manner.

And as always, it's a matter of if that really is the law, and not the DOJ twisting it to their agenda.

The objective is to delay until it will take until after the election to sort it out.
