All 26 Republican attorneys general joined Virginia in their emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, which could impact the right to vote for thousands of residents.
FIRST ON FOX: Twenty-six Republican attorneys general joined Virginia on Monday in urging the Supreme Court to halt a lower court decision that restored the voting rights of 1,600 residents. The amicus brief backs Virginia’s contention that the ruling is overly broad and lacks standing under a provision of the National Voter Registration Act , which orders states to halt all 'systematic' voter roll maintenance 90 days before an election. It now has the support of every Republican-led U.
In the amicus brief, lawyers describe the ruling as a 'sweeping interpretation of the NVRA' that 'converts a procedural statute into a substantive federal regulation of voter qualifications in elections—an interpretation that would raise serious questions about the constitutionality of the NVRA itself.' Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has insisted the voters were removed legally and that the removal process is based on precedent from a 2006 state law enacted by then-Gov.
