The lawsuit from the DOJ challenges Virginia's actions, claiming they violated the NVRA by purging noncitizens from voter rolls within the prohibited Quiet Period.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke stated, 'By canceling voter registrations within 90 days of Election Day, Virginia places qualified voters in jeopardy of being removed from the rolls and creates the risk of confusion for the electorate.'
Governor Youngkin argued that his administration's actions are a lawful enforcement of a 2006 statute, asserting that the DOJ's lawsuit is politically motivated.
The DOJ emphasizes that large-scale voter list maintenance is prohibited within 90 days of federal elections to prevent the disenfranchisement of eligible voters.
