A federal judge barred Virginia from purging its voter rolls of possible noncitizens and ordered the state to return removed voters from the list, saying the action violates a law that prohibits states from cleaning out the lists within 90 days of a presidential election, according to reports.
"What I find is a clear violation of the 90-day quiet provision," U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles said in court Friday, the Washington Post reported. "It is not happenstance that this executive order was announced on the 90th day."
