Virginia Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Illegal Voter Roll Purge

The lawsuit claims Virginia's voter roll maintenance violates federal law, risking disenfranchisement of legitimate voters.

A coalition of immigrant-rights groups and the League of Women Voters has filed a lawsuit against Virginia officials, alleging an illegal voter roll purge.
The lawsuit argues that Governor Youngkin's executive order for daily updates to voter rolls violates the 90-day quiet period mandated by federal law.
Plaintiffs claim the use of Department of Motor Vehicles data is flawed, potentially disenfranchising naturalized citizens misclassified as noncitizens.
Virginia officials defend the process, asserting it complies with state law and targets only those who self-identify as noncitizens.
The lawsuit seeks to halt the purge program and restore wrongfully removed voters, citing violations of the National Voter Registration Act.
