26 Republican attorneys general join Virginia in petitioning Supreme Court to rule on voter roll

All 26 Republican attorneys general joined Virginia in their emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, which could impact the right to vote for thousands of residents.

In the amicus brief, attorneys general urged the court to grant Virginia’s emergency motion and "restore the status quo," noting that doing so "would comply with the law and enable Virginia to ensure that noncitizens do not vote in the upcoming election."

The states also sided with Virginia in objecting to the Justice Department’s reading of NVRA protections, which they said was overly broad.

Moreover, they said, the law in place in Virginia was not designed to "systematically" remove residents from the voter rolls, as Justice Department officials cited in their lawsuit earlier this month.
