The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Virginia over an executive order by Governor Glenn Youngkin, which mandates the removal of non-citizens from voter rolls within 90 days of an election. This action allegedly violates the National Voter Registration Act's Quiet Period Provision, which prohibits systematic voter list maintenance close to federal elections to prevent confusion and errors. The DOJ claims that some individuals identified as non-citizens were actually eligible U.S. citizens, potentially disenfranchising them. Youngkin defends the order as a legal measure to ensure election integrity, accusing the DOJ of political motivation. This lawsuit follows similar actions by the DOJ against Alabama, highlighting a broader federal focus on upholding voting rights ahead of the 2024 elections. The outcome could have significant implications for election laws and voter rights across the United States.
