The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Virginia, accusing the state of violating the National Voter Registration Act by attempting to remove voters from its rolls too close to the upcoming November election.
The lawsuit claims that Virginia's actions, initiated by an executive order from Governor Glenn Youngkin, could result in eligible voters being improperly removed. This is the second such lawsuit filed by the DOJ in recent weeks, highlighting concerns over voter suppression and election integrity.
Virginia officials argue that the effort is aimed at maintaining accurate voter lists.
