The U.S. Department of Justice has sued the State of Virginia, the Virginia State Board of Elections, and the Virginia Commissioner of Elections for allegedly purging noncitizens from its voter rolls too close to November’s election. The Justice Department alleged the voter roll purge violated the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA). “Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision, requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections,” the Justice Department stated in a press release. “The Quiet Period Provision applies to certain systematic programs carried out by states that are aimed at striking names from voter registration lists based on a perceived failure to meet initial eligibility requirements — including citizenship — at the time of registration,” it added. “As the National Voter Registration Act mandates, officials across the country should take heed of the law’s crystal clear and unequivocal restrictions on systematic list maintenance efforts that fall within 90 days of an election,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “By cancelling voter registrations within 90 days of Election Day, Virginia places qualified voters in jeopardy of being removed from the rolls and creates the risk of confusion for the electorate. Congress adopted the National Voter Registration Act’s quiet period restriction to prevent error-prone, eleventh hour efforts that all too often disenfranchise qualified voters. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and the Justice Department will continue to ensure that the rights of qualified voters are protected,” Clarke added.

Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.) signed an executive order confirming there were “daily” updates to the voter list. These updates included “compar[ing] the list of individuals who have been identified as non-citizens” by the State Department of Motor Vehicles “to the list of existing registered voters.” Local registrars were then required to contact challenged voters to inform them they were “pending cancellation” unless they “affirm their citizenship” within 14 days. DOJ said the process led to some Virginians’ voter registration being cancelled. “Systematic removal programs are more error-prone than other forms of list maintenance, and eligible voters placed on the path to removal days or weeks before Election Day may be deterred from voting or unable to participate in the election on the same terms that they would have but for the Commonwealth’s error,” read the legal filing. “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 to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said.

Youngkin, in his statement, described the lawsuit as an “unprecedented” attack, calling it a political move aimed at undermining the legitimacy of Virginia’s elections. He emphasized that the law, signed by former Democratic Governor Tim Kaine, is being enforced as required and follows a process where individuals first declare themselves noncitizens before registering to vote. Last month, the Justice Department filed a similar lawsuit against Alabama. Effort By GOP-Led State To Purge Voter Rolls Of Noncitizens Prompts Justice Department Lawsuit

Several California counties in the San Francisco Bay Area are reinstating mask mandates in healthcare settings. “Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Napa counties have reinstated the mask requirements,” KTVU FOX 2 reports. Health officials issued orders requiring individuals to wear face masks in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other healthcare facilities.

California had the third-longest COVID-19 mask mandate in the nation, ending only on March 1, with only Hawaii and Washington lifting their mandates after.

A former Indiana teacher who was also the chairman of his local county Democratic Party was arrested for allegedly fondling himself in front of students in the classroom. Joel R. Bowers, 37, faces accusations of masturbating in front of a class of eighth grade students. According to The Commercial Review, Bowers was “charged in Jay Superior Court with performance before a minor that is harmful to minors and dissemination of matter harmful to minors, both Level 6 felonies.” The alleged classroom incident occurred in April. He was released from Jay County Jail on a $3,000 bond. A Level 6 felony carries up to “30 months in prison,” Muncie Star Press noted.

The former social studies teacher later resigned from his position. He was also chair of the Democratic Party in Jay County at the time of the incident and resigned his post shortly after. (In June, Jay County Democrats elected former two-term Portland mayor Randy Geesaman as their new chair.) According to a report filed in connection with the case, a 14-year-old girl told school resource officer Cody Jessee on April 10 that Bowers masturbated in her sixth period class at the junior-senior high the previous day. She told Jessee about the alleged incident and gave a written statement. According to the report, she texted her mother about the situation and sent her pictures and videos of the situation. She alleged Bowers stayed at his class the entire period and would not get out of his seat.

His hands was down there but when someone went up there he would wipe his hand off with paper towel,” she added. Muncie Star Press reports: Videos and photos taken during the class period were supplied to investigators. Students said Bowers was seated with one hand under his desk and suggested his behavior resulted in “white stains” appearing on his pants. They also noted the educator’s shirt was “untucked.” Later questioned by school administrators and police, Bowers “denied touching himself in class” and maintained the white stains had been caused by paint, not bodily fluid. Bowers — who at the time of the April incident was also chairman of the Jay County Democratic Party — was placed on administrative leave by school officials in April and resigned from his teaching job in May. The Indiana Department of Child Services was also involved in the investigation. Also on Tuesday, Bowers was charged with another Level 6 felony, dissemination of matter harmful to minors. That count alleges Bowers sent a photo of his genitalia to a person who had identified themselves online as a 15-year-old girl. The ex-teacher told police he should have “stopped the conversation when the person said they were 15” but “got caught up in the moment.”
