DOJ Sues Virginia and Alabama Over Voter Roll Purges

The Justice Department claims the states violated federal law by removing names from voter rolls too close to Election Day.

Virginia and Alabama are facing lawsuits from the DOJ for removing thousands of names from voter rolls within 90 days of a federal election.
The DOJ argues that the states' actions violate the National Voter Registration Act's 90-day 'Quiet Period' for systematic voter list maintenance.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen initiated these purges to enhance election security by removing non-citizens.
Critics argue the DOJ's lawsuits could undermine election integrity and sow public mistrust in the electoral process.
Previous court rulings have shown conflicting interpretations of the NVRA regarding the removal of non-citizens from voter rolls.
