Supreme Court could rule on Virginia voter roll purge in as little as 24 hours, state AG suggests

From North Carolina, let's head a little bit north to Virginia. Virginia now calling on the Supreme Court to reinstate Governor Glenn Youngkins, move to eliminate non citizens from voter rolls. The state now awaiting the court's decision on a possible injunction. Jason Miaris is the attorney general of Virginia joins me now. Jason, let's start with the calendar because right now that could be the most important thing. When do you expect a decision? Because we're six days out from Election Day. Yeah, thank you. I think we're going to probably hear something. The next 24 hours would be my prediction. OK, let's get to the substance. You argue, Yeah, you argue that restoring these non citizens to voter rolls, and this is your quote, would inject chaos into the voting process. Explain how, Jason. Well, what the District Court did is they basically ordered Virginia to ignore her own law and put 1500, roughly 1500 non citizens back on our voter rolls. We've had a law that's been on the books since 2006 signed by then Governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat, to remove non citizens. These are individuals that have checked a box at DMV when they've tried to get driver privileges indicating they're non citizens. And the DMV communicates that to the Department of Elections. If they've shown up on our voter rolls, we communicate to them and say, listen, you've been indicated that you're a non citizen. We're going to give you a period of time that clarify that if you are and if you don't, we're going to remove you from our roles as a non citizen. And that's been a law that's been in place and been enforced by Democrats and Republicans. The fact that the Department of Justice is trying to do this 25 days before an election is just indeed, it is injecting chaos into something we don't need right now. Also, it's not like you're trying to root out these people using covert means. These people said, hey, we're non citizens. Like they wrote it down at the DMV. The fact that every Republican attorney general has signed on to an amicus brief in support of your position, how helpful do you think that'll be when the Supreme Court ultimately makes its decision? Well, listen, it's, it's Republican AGS from New Hampshire to to Texas. But think about this. The SAVE act supported by Speaker Johnson, which would have been at the federal level, require you to be AUS citizen, obviously, to be able to participate in our elections. The main Democrat point against that was, listen, we don't need this at the federal level because the states, each individual states have their own mechanisms or to ensure non citizens are not on our voter rolls. Well, now you have a state that is actually doing that, a law that is actually signed by a Democrat. And now the same the same people on the left that were opposing the SAVE Act saying the the states can fix this are now suing Virginia to stop us from doing that. That just shows you both the inconsistency and how how rare common sense is in Washington DC that they would expend the resources to go after Virginia to attack of a law that's been supported by both Democrats and Republican governors. I think there are a lot of people who may be watching and say why do we care? This is a small amount of votes, but when you talk to Republican pollsters, so many of them tell you off the cuff, hey, we think Virginia could be in play for Trump. So my question to you, Attorney General, could this decision by the Supreme Court ultimately determine if Donald Trump wins Virginia? Well, listen, first of all, it was really novel idea, right? Virginia citizens should be deciding Virginia elections. But yes, at Virginia, this is the state that swings both ways to go back on the Wayback Machine, former Attorney General Bob McDonald, he won statewide by less than 1000 votes. So we have some, we've had historically some incredibly close elections in Virginia. But really we want everybody, I don't care whether you're a Republican or Democrat that has confidence in our elections, our election results. That's our number one goal. It should be easy to vote for, hard to cheat. And really, this is something that over 83% of Americans, according to Gallup, support the idea that only citizens can vote in our elections. It is citizens that are paying our taxes. It is citizens that are that are determining who our leaders are. This shouldn't be controversial. It's common sense. But I noted common sense is a very common watch. It does beg the question, why is DOJ fighting so hard to keep non citizens on voter rolls? It doesn't make sense. Jason Miaris, appreciate your time. Thank you, Sir.
