>>Virginia Asks U.S. Supreme Court To Allow Removal Of 1,600 Voters From Its Rolls
(Richmond, VA) -- Virginia request to the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the removal of over a thousand voters from its rolls, whom it believes are noncitizens, was shutdown. Katie Gray reports the latest.Preview: SCRIPT:
Governor Glenn Youngkin's program to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls was deemed illegal by a federal judge and a federal appeals court. The court ruled that Virginia's process for removing voters did not provide proof that those purged were actually noncitizens. The state is required to restore the registrations of the 1,600 voters, as the removal process was found to be flawed and potentially disenfranchising legitimate voters. The Hill reports that according to the appeals court, while the state can remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, it must do so through an individualized process rather than a systematic one.
