Virginia Elections Official Sues Attorney General for Malicious Prosecution

Michele White claims charges were politically motivated to support election fraud narratives.

Michele White, former registrar of Prince William County, faced charges related to vote count errors in the 2020 election, which were later dropped.
The lawsuit alleges that Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares pursued baseless charges to justify the creation of an Election Integrity Unit.
White's prosecution was reportedly celebrated by supporters of the 'Stop the Steal' movement as validating their claims of election fraud.
Vote count errors in Prince William County were attributed to data handling issues in split precincts, not intentional misconduct by White.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, arguing White's career and reputation were unjustly damaged by the prosecution.
