'This is ours': Defiant GOP governor draws hard line against Trump demand

A GOP governor is drawing a hard line against a key demand made by President Donald Trump ahead of midterms, per a report.According to reporting by NBC News, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said during a panel on Friday that he will defend mail-in ballots despite Trump's efforts to limit them. Scott defended states' rights and rejected the idea of letting the federal government overhaul mail-in voting when asked about Trump's demand for Republicans to "nationalize" elections. "I would hope that all, if not the majority, of Democrats would agree that this is ours, not the federal government's," Scott said. "We were here before the federal government was, the states were, and so we formed the government. Now they're getting bloated, and we need to protect our rights."NBC News noted Trump's years-long fight against mail-in voting, which he falsely claims is rife with fraud and abuse. Trump also falsely stated that his stalled SAVE America Act would ban it, and a federal judge struck down one of his executive orders aimed at limiting mail-in ballots and creating federal voter rolls, a ruling Trump has asked the Supreme Court to lift before the midterms.Scott argued that the states' rights laid out in the 10th Amendment protect their mail-in voting system, per NBC News. The amendment is "clear on the role of the states in terms of elections," Scott said. "So I think that we should follow that, and we're closer to the people."States are "closer to our people," Scott continued. "We know what's right and what's wrong, and we can control the elections."He added that participation in mail-in voting has increased among GOP voters in his state and described it as popular with Vermont Republicans, which he said has led to a boost in GOP representation in the state Legislature, NBC News reported."In Vermont, I would have to say, mail-in ballots are popular. Who are they popular with? Republicans," Scott said.

Spanberger's plot to let 66,000 felons vote just in time for the midterms is complete

Virginia Democrats are welcoming criminals back to the ballot box.Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) has restored voting rights to 66,085 felons in her first six months in office. That’s 56,000 more than former Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) restored during his entire four-year tenure, according to the official annual reports filed by the secretary of the commonwealth.‘A shameful relic of our Jim Crow past.’“I’m proud that — after contending with my predecessor's efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time,” Spanberger said in a Friday press release. “These Virginians deserve the right to use their vote, make their voices heard, and be recognized as contributing citizens to our Commonwealth and country.”Spanberger's office did not respond to requests for comment. Under Youngkin, applicants were required to submit a formal Restoration of Rights form detailing whether they had completed all terms of incarceration, were on probation or parole, or had been convicted of a violent offense. Felons were also asked if they had “paid all fines, fees, and restitution” or were currently paying them, according to court filings.Spanberger’s administration axed those safeguards.RELATED: Illegal immigrant allegedly attacks Virginia police — after dodging persecution for allegedly choking his wife JASON REDMOND/AFP/Getty Images The new team “re-established processes to both review applications and proactively identify — and restore the rights of — Virginians who have lost their right to vote” and is using “a streamlined, online system that removed unnecessary questions added during the Youngkin administration," according to the press release.The removed questions included the requirement to report probation status and fine repayment. The governor also instructed Secretary of the Commonwealth Candi Mundon King to expand “proactive identification” of eligible ex-convicts.Current eligibility is determined by whether a person has been convicted of a felony and is no longer incarcerated.“By giving these Virginians back their ability to make an impact at the local, state, and national levels, we are empowering our neighbors to take hold of their second chance,” Spanberger said. “This fall, voters can cast their ballots for Virginia to no longer strip so many of our neighbors of their fundamental rights — a shameful relic of our Jim Crow past.”Virginia voters will decide in November whether to pass a constitutional amendment automatic restoration of voting rights for released felon inmates.
