Virginia is targeting 1,691 license plates bearing the Confederate battle flag in a statewide recall that will replace the existing tags with new ones without the controversial image.

The Virginian-Pilot reported that it’s unclear how quickly the flag tags will disappear from state highways now that the plates are being recalled and replaced following a federal judge’s ruling Thursday lifting a 2001 injunction that allowed the image.

“We’re working as quickly as possible to get this done,” Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman Brandy Brubaker told the paper.

Vehicle owners with the flag plates will be sent new Sons of Confederate Veterans tags along with a letter of notification informing them that the old plates will become invalid in 30 days.

More PC politicians at work, and they wonder why Trump gets his popularity.

Cut the flag out of the old plate and a fix it next to the replacement plate.

Nothing like an expensive moment of insanity. How much will this cost?

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

How many people check their own license plates? I can imagine someone getting a bunch of decals and slapping them on other’s plates.

[P-Marlowe]

Problem solved.

[knarf]

NOT ON YOUr *u***** life !!!!

[SandRat]

The complainers/criers. will still make ruckus over the new plates.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Sell them on eBay for big bucks as collectibles.

[Revel]

If they have the same tag number then How could they ever ticket a person who does not replace it.

[Boonie]

How freakin’ stupid this has become!!!!!!

[Red in Blue PA]

If only Rod Serling had lived long enough to see this.

[Red in Blue PA]

LOL!

For every person forced to turn in a plate, 100 will buy one of those.

Idiot politicians at work......again.

[tenthirteen]

no solutions here......affixing some unauthorized thing to any license plate will get you pulled over and a nice fat ticket. License plate brackets ditto, as they can cover over vital data such as state and expiration. These things are mainly ignored now but put a rebel flag in it and watch what happens,

[Secret Agent Man]

no. get new plates after tey are deemed invalid, but keep them. the libtard history scrubbing is the stupidest thing ever.

[proud American in Canada]

I like your idea too, I’D!

Pulled into a convenience store here in 'Bama the other day, and a pickup truck in the lot had a 3'x5' flag on a pole mounted to the bed. A Confederate flag. With an AR-15 on it. HA!
