Virginia Purged US Citizens from Voter Rolls In Republican Removal of Alleged Noncitizens: Report

United States citizens were reportedly among a group of voters purged from rolls in Virginia after a state order sought to remove alleged noncitizens from the state's lists, according to a new report.

An executive order signed by Virginia's Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin removed around 1,600 names from voter rolls, part of an effort to remove noncitizens who were not eligible to vote. Youngkin also stated that the order enforced a 2006 law, as reported by the Associated Press.
