Dems Seek DOJ Probe Into Virginia Voter Rolls Purge

The Washington Post reports:

Democratic Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine of Virginia are urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate whether the Youngkin administration violated the Voting Rights Act when it wiped at least 270 fully qualified Virginia voters off the state’s rolls.

In a letter dated Friday and released to the media Tuesday, Warner, Kaine and the state’s six Democrats in the House of Representatives pressed Garland to probe the recent “purge” of the voter rolls. The letter, which reinforces calls for a federal investigation that Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-Va.) made to the media last week, suggested that affected voters might number in the thousands.

“This widespread error creates an enormous barrier to the democratic process for these affected Virginians while early voting has already begun for this November’s election,” the letter says.
