I would urge every citizen who was purged from the voter rolls to bring a class action suit against the governor and the supreme court.

[Lelffy]

I KNEW there would be citizens who were purged. I hope each and every one of them sues the pants off of Virginia. I hope they win millions.

[sarahracing]

She's a citizen and has every right to vote.

[joshuamatkin]

Before purging why is there no due process? I would sue

[wildboy]

They did the same to my Mom in Texas, where we couldn't find her name on the secretary of Texas website, but luckily, in Harris County, Texas, it had its own separate registry and she was able to vote with no issue. Take that Hot Wheels. 💙🇺🇲🌊🇵🇷💙

[Neverland]

She should sue the state for violating her civil rights

[billyrubin]

This is outrageous! All the U.S. citizens who were purged from voting should be reinstated immediately.

Virginians will be voting Youngkin out in 2026!

[butchmarykitson]

Bet they have no problem taking your tax dollars

[Orocaiamric]

Sue the state! That’s violating your right to vote!

My 27 yr old son found out his voter registration had been inactivated when he went online this summer to request a mail-in ballot in Virginia. He was easily able to reactivate it online and voted for Kamala, but it is still sketchy that Gov. Youngkin is inactivating voters without notifying them.

Just as it is criminal to vote if you are not a citizen, it should be equally criminal to purge a citizen from the voter list. Some official should be held responsible for purging and making it difficult for a citizen .

File a federal complaint or sue Babygirl and Abdullah. It is ridiculous that Americans are experiencing voter suppression.

[daveprosser]

This is why you MUST check your registration!!

[jpjh]

The citizens removed from the rolls should sue the Commonwealth of Virginia for Violating their Constitutional Right to Vote!

[talbotcolleen]

I'm not always enthusiastic about CNN lately, but I have to congratulate their initiative in contacting those voters who were purged from the upcoming election. I don't trust that VA would have infirmwd them in time to vote. Bravo CNN

[MzMaverick.]

This is why I belive it's so important to vote early. If you wait until election day, many of these "mistakes" will not be corrected. That's the real steal. No matter who you're voting for, please vote early everyone.

[grunthostheflatulent]

Let's be completely honest, those who are stopping people who can legally vote or hinder the voting process in any way are the bad guys!!!

[midknight]

Imagine voting for a party that celebrates people not being able to vote or not having their votes counted

[lupedonley]

I verified that i was registered to vote on Monday. Went to vote on Wednesday and was told that i needed to sign a form bcuz i wasn't registered. Happening here in Texas, as well.
