The city of Alexandria, Va., is stonewalling an investigation into voter rolls in the city that could have illegally registered voters.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based law firm that litigates to protect election integrity, filed a lawsuit in April against the city of Alexandria on behalf of the Virginia Voters Alliance, a group dedicated to improving election laws. The groups contended that voter rolls in Alexandria have for years contained more registrants than people of voting age in the city.
In January, PILF sent a statutory notice letter to Anna J. Leider, the general registrar of Alexandria, warning that the city was in violation of federal voter registration laws. Leider did not use data readily available to the city’s circuit court clerk to remove ineligible voters from the rolls, PILF claimed.

While inspecting the records, the group discovered a list of several hundred registrants who had been removed from the voter rolls because they were not U.S. citizens, said Hans von Spokavsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

“It’s become clear that hundreds, if not thousands, of foreigners have been on Virginia voting rolls and voting in federal elections,” Adams told the Washington Free Beacon. “Some have been caught only because they renewed their drivers’ license and told the truth during the renewal that they were non-citizens. Not a single one of these felonies have been prosecuted by the Justice Department. That’s because voter fraud is the sort of thing this administration laughs at instead of takes seriously. Noncitizen registration and voting is a critical vulnerability in our election system.”

This is the ONLY explanation that makes sense to me as to why the Dems are so ferociously opposed to voter ID laws. Otherwise, you have to believe that minorities are too stupid to get government IDs and produce them at the voting places.
Virginia has been corrupted by the Democrats, the most venal and corrupt political party in American history.
I detest Democrats with every fiber of my being.
Here in Florida we have 100,000+ voters who cast DIM votes here and in their former states in the NORTH! Many brag about it and nothing is done about it!
How many HUNDREDS of thousands are gonna vote across the country? or millions?
I know Rudy and Trump and Christy. It’ll be game on if they find evidence of ONE fraudulent vote.
Trump wont concede. Sounds crazy? He’s a NYer :)
And then the real festivities would begin.
That’s George Washington’s home town. Look what’s become of it. It’s a symbol of what’s happened to our nation.
How would voter ID laws prevent this kind of fraud? It seems the non-citizen "voters" had driver licenses.
Alexandria is getting as bad as Arlington, which is up there with Takoma Park, arguable to dumbest concentration of Lefties this side of Berkeley.
Vote fraud, whether by a voter, an administrator, or a politician facilitator, should be mandatory life in prison.
Alexandria is too expensive to have a high percentage of illegals living within city limits.
Well, truth be told, his birthplace was at his father's plantation on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His home is in Mt. Vernon, about 10 miles south of the city of Alexandria in Fairfax County. But your point is well taken regardless. The DemocRATs have polluted the Old Dominion.
Oh, we've got plenty of public housing.
Sad but true.
Not as much as you would expect.
I drive through them every day.
I heard the author on WMAL this afternoon. This is appalling! More voters registered than over the age of 18 in the City of Alexandria. Democrats are corrupt to the core of their beings.
Fair enough, We have plenty too despite the high cost of living in the county.
Me too. But Trump keeps my thoughts away from the leftist scum.
😧
I heard they have the most muslims after Dearborn, Michigan.
