Previously Democratic candidate for Governor Ralph Northam opposed Virginia’s Voter ID laws. Now he has spoken out in support of driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants as well as a path to citizenship. In a statement issued today Virginia’s Republican Party Chairman John Whitbeck said:
“Ralph Northam’s panicked flight to the left would be comical if the stakes weren’t so high. In the same week Ralph Northam joins the call to end all forms of voter ID in Virginia, he comes out in support of giving licenses to those who are in our country illegally.”
“A driver’s license is the gold standard for ID in our Commonwealth and all around the country. Current Virginia law reflects Federal standards for ID, and requires proof of citizenship before a license can be issued. Yet Ralph Northam would weaken this safeguard against non-citizens voting in our elections.”
“Tom Perriello has Ralph Northam scared out of his mind. I shudder to think what this race to the far-left is going to produce next.”
