A federal judge signaled that she will likely order Virginia to restore about 1,600 people to its voter rolls after the state removed them in the past three months.
Virginia says it has removed people who are not U.S. citizens. But the Justice Department and voting rights groups say that many of the removals may be erroneous — and that trimming the voter rolls so close to Election Day violates federal law.
A federal judge in Virginia on Friday ordered Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin to restore 1,600 voters to the rolls after his office removed them in August, claiming they were not American citizens.
All 1,600 voters who were removed from the rolls must now be notified by Virginia officials within five days so they can get themselves reinstated by Election Day.
@AskTheDevil
Quite disheartening 😔
@nursefrombirth And now Gov. Youngkin will be tried in a court of law for violating the law and his oath of office, right?
Right?
Which slot does the justice come out of. I put my tax dollars in, but nothing seems to be coming out.
