Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Virginia and Susan Beals in her capacity as the state’s election commissioner. The department’s lawyers said daily removals of people ineligible to vote, like noncitizens and people convicted of felonies, come too close to the Nov. 5 election and violate federal law. The National Voter Registration Act says states cannot remove voters systematically in the 90 days before the election. The DOJ filed a similar lawsuit in Alabama in September. The removals in question are related to an executive order filed Aug. 7 — 90 days before the election — by Gov. Glenn Youngkin that directs Beals to certify that noncitizens are removed from voter rolls on a daily basis, among other measures, to ensure the accuracy of voter lists.
