Something we don't talk about enough is the fact that two of the Democrat governors who are doing their utmost to undermine the integrity of the midterm elections were once roommates. That's right, Democrat darlings Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia used to share a house when they were both in Congress.
Spanberger, of course, became the face of partisan gerrymandering – and disenfranchising conservative and rural voters – when she backed the Democrat plan to steal four of the Virginia congressional seats currently held by Republicans.
And Sherrill is fast becoming the face of non-citizens being allowed to vote, illegally, in American elections.
Quite the pair, these two. Sorority sisters from hell, you might say.

Mikie Sherrill Lashes Out at Trump, J6, Even Putin for DOJ Investigation Into Illegal Voters
As RedState reported last week, Sherrill, right on the heels of President Trump's big address to the nation about attacks on election integrity, revealed that her state had registered at least 6,600 noncitizens to vote. Things got even worse when it later emerged that 400 of those non-citizens actually did vote, prompting the Department of Justice (DOJ) to launch an investigation.
Oh, sure, she came out with a Strongly Worded Tweet saying she was handling it, but Sherrill is nothing if not a loyal Democrat. If President Trump wants to improve something, she'll darn well do the opposite, consequences be damned.
Always remember, anything good, true, or beautiful is the enemy of the left. To prove that point, along comes Sherrill to double down on her refusal to be transparent with the DOJ by releasing to them the names of the 6,600 non-citizens her state registered to vote.
When asked at a Tuesday press conference about the deadline set by the Trump administration to hand over those names, Sherrill replied, "I'm not in the habit of turning over private, identifying information of the citizens of New Jersey. This federal government is weaponizing the government against individuals that disagree with them."

And she just referred to the noncitizens as "CITIZENS OF NEW JERSEY" 🤯
WHAT is she hiding?!
REPORTER: The Trump administration is seeking, I believe by today, the list of noncitizens who are registered to vote and the approximately 400 that did vote. To what extent will your administration comply with the Trump administration's request in that regard?
SHERRILL: "As I have said, I am not in the habit of turning over private, identifying information of the citizens of New Jersey." (they are not citizens!)
"I am working to protect people and their private data here in New Jersey."
This faux outrage from Sherrill is quite unlikely to deter Assistant Attorney General (AAG) Harmeet Dhillon, who has spearheaded Trump administration efforts to clean up state voter rolls ahead of the midterm elections. Dhillon accused Sherrill of keeping the New Jersey voting scandal a secret, adding, "Every single person who voted illegally canceled out the vote of a New Jersey voter; that is shameful."
More from AAG Dhillon:
"And instead of pointing fingers at the president, which is what Governor Sherrill did… she should be raising her hand to work with the federal government to clean this up ASAP because that's the vow she took when she ran for office and she got sworn in as the governor of her state is to protect her citizens, and her citizens have a right to vote."
If this turns into a bare-knuckle legal brawl over New Jersey’s voter rolls, I know where I'm putting my money: on the woman demanding the receipts and not the rabidly partisan governor desperately trying to keep them hidden.
