Quote:13News Now spoke with Governor Glenn Youngkin on Monday to hear his thoughts on the lawsuit.
"Let me just begin by saying I'm proud of them,” Governor Youngkin said of the parents who filed the lawsuit. “I'm proud of them for standing up for their children and for kids, and I support them and as you know, I firmly believe that there is no other decision for school boards than to adopt the model policies or policies that are consistent with the model policy."
Quote:“Let’s just be clear that when a company decides it’s gonna make statements on on political and social issues, they have to live with the consequences,” Youngkin said. “And the blowback here has been warranted.”
Youngkin cited the horrific events of Oct. 7, when Hamas terrorists brutally slaughtered more than 1,400 innocent Israeli citizens in a surprise attack.
“There’s no place to sit on a fence here. You’re either condemning it or you’re condoning it,” Youngkin said. “And the fact that, first of all, Eventbrite continues to carry events around Hamas is unbelievable. But then, on top of that, to proactively terminate an agreement with Riley is beyond belief.”
Eventbrite essentially chose to protect the feelings of the transgender community but not the safety of Jewish and Israeli citizens targeted through anti-Semitic events.
And for that reason, Youngkin said, he decided to stop the use of Eventbrite in both his political action committee and the governor’s office. Further, he encouraged listeners of Clay & Buck not to respond or RSVP to invitations from Eventbrite.
“Just stop using them. That’s what has to happen to companies that take these kinds of stances,” Youngkin said. “The customers can fire him. And in our case, we fired them.”
not afraid to stand up and do what's right...

** We use 100% paper ballots with a strict chain of custody.
** We use counting machines, not voting machines, that are tested prior to every election and never connected to the internet.
** We do not mass mail ballots.
** We monitor our drop boxes 24/7.
** We verify the legal presence and identity of voters using DMV data and other trusted data sources to update our voter rolls daily.
Governor Youngkin also REMOVED Virginia from the highly controversial ERIC System in 2023.
Quote: With less than 30 days until the election, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is filing an unprecedented lawsuit against me and the Commonwealth of Virginia, for appropriately enforcing a 2006 law signed by Democrat Tim Kaine that requires Virginia to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls – a process that starts with someone declaring themselves a non-citizen and then registering to vote. Virginians – and Americans – will see this for exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to attack the legitimacy of the elections in the Commonwealth, the very crucible of American Democracy. With the support of our Attorney General, we will defend these commonsense steps, that we are legally required to take, with every resource available to us. Virginia’s election will be secure and fair, and I will not stand idly by as this politically motivated action tries to interfere in our elections, period.

Democrats are are against every measure to combat voter fraud. EVERY measure, because they are the beneficiaries of all of it.
Quote:"The last time the Democrats had full control of the commonwealth of Virginia, they tried to turn her into California. Or as Winsome said, maybe even Maryland," Youngkin said, contrasting the Old Dominion with the Old Line State in terms of taxation, education and business-friendly environs.
"Don't Maryland my Virginia," he said.

Current map: 6 Democrats — 5 Republicans
New map: 10 DEMOCRATS — 1 REPUBLICAN
GLENN YOUNGKIN: "This is going to be close. They (Democrats) poured $70 MILLION into this! To try to fool, trick and deceive Virginians."
"A 'NO' vote is for the fairest map in America." @GlennYoungkin

STORM THE POLLS!
Final stretch!
Funny how the Lefties kept saying that gerrymandering was strictly a Republican vice. Now they are blaming the Republicans for "making" them resort to the worst gerrymandering in US history. Kind of like the wife beater screaming at his wife "Look what you made me do"!
Just shows that the Left will resort to any measure in their goal of domination. Assassination, ballot stuffing, illegals, lying, cheating, yada, yada, yada.

Funny how you conveniently gloss completely over the unprecedented start to mid cycle redistricting to go on a tirade about how bad it is. Lolz.
I guess the right reserves solely the arena of conspiring to short circuit the lawful counting of state votes as their own ‘resort[ing] to any measure in their goal of domination. Again —- something you astoundingly apparently choose to overlook. Rich.
