Virginia voter roll removal process violates federal law, groups allege — state fires back
Fox News
A lawsuit alleges that voter roll maintenance efforts in Virginia violate federal law, but the state stands ready to defend its practices.
Plaintiffs include the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, League of Women Voters of Virginia and the League of Women Voters of Virginia Education Fund. Alex Nitzberg is a writer for Fox News Digital.
"Less than 60 days ago, Defendants announced the latest version of an effort to implement an ongoing program to systematically remove certain voters from the rolls. But federal law mandates that no such voter cancelation or list maintenance programs may be conducted during the 90-day ‘quiet period’ before an election," the suit reads.
