Virginia & the Voter Rolls, Kamala's Dodging & A Compliant Media, Walz & His Mom

Jim Geraghty is back after a much-deserved vacation and weathering the remnants of Hurricane Debby. Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and his team for their due diligence in preparing for the elections, scold the AP and other media for allowing Kamala Harris to dodge serious questions for three weeks and counting, and slamming Tim Walz for forcing his own 87-year-old mom to isolate after heart surgery during Covid.First, they applaud Virginia for doing what Jim calls the "basic blocking and tacking of government" and making sure the commonwealth's voter rolls are up to date. In doing so, officials found 80,000 dead people still eligible to vote along with more than 6,300 non-citizens. This shouldn't be that hard to update. So why isn't every state doing it?Next, they shake their heads as the media are still pandering to Kamala Harris and only offering the softest criticism for her refusal to take serious questions for more than three weeks since President Biden ended his campaign.  Even worse, media outlets like the Associated Press are running stories downplaying the importance of candidates engaging in sit-down interviews.Finally, they shudder at video from the pandemic in which Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he made his 87-year-old mother live alone right after heart surgery because he feared negative headlines if his mom came to live with him. So instead of amending his own draconian stay-at-home orders to help his mom and to allow anyone to care for a loved one who needed assistance, he decided enforcing the shutdown orders were more important.Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.me/3MLHead to lumen.me/3ML for 15% off your Lumen.
