Youngkin explained that his executive order, which he issued over the summer, was meant to clarify who can legally vote:

I think it's really important....they self-identify as a non-citizen, when this whole process starts [at the Department of Motor Vehicles], and then they've ended up on the voter roll--either by accident or purposefully--and therefore, we go through a very clear process that's been on our books for 18 years.

He said that since 2006, Virginia has notified the non-citizens, giving them 14 days "to affirm that they are a citizen or not, and then they are removed from the voter roll." He added that Virginia has same-day voter registration, so even "if there's been a mistake," any legal citizen can walk up to the polls, register, and vote via a provisional ballot.

Pointing out that there are "multiple safeguards," he called the DOJ suit "unprecedented": //

Call me crazy, but I believe that only citizens should be voting in U.S. elections.

Bartiromo interjected that that's the law, and that Youngkin and his administration are following it. She also brought up one of the contentions in the Biden-Harris DOJ's filing, which claims that the purging of names 90 days ahead is too close to the election.

Youngkin waved it away, saying that "it's an individual process" put in motion by the individual showing up at the DMV. //

I believe that this is purely political. They waited until 25 days before a presidential election in order to file this suit. I wrote my executive order back in early August....I think this is why people lose faith in the entire process....This is a moment where we have to stand strong.
