Democrats Sue to Allow Noncitizens to Vote in VA

It's more complicated than that...but it's part of the motive, IMO.

They can, of course, say that they don't want citizens accidentally purged from the rolls--and I expect that's part of the motive.

My guess is that it comes down to perceived costs and benefits, as so many things do. Dems think that the cost of noncitizens voting is minimal compared to the benefits of making voting easier for minority citizens. Pubs think the opposite.

I side with the Republicans on this one--and always have. This isn't something I changed my mind about when I became more conservative / left (or was abandoned by) the blue team.
