This comes after a federal appeals court Sunday upheld the lower court's ruling, restoring the registrations of some 1.6K voters removed under an order by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who said the effort is meant to keep noncitizens from voting.
Youngkin's Aug. 7 executive order directed state election officials to use records from the state's department of motor vehicles to cancel the voter registration of suspected noncitizens within 14 days. The Biden administration and immigrant advocacy groups sued Virginia.
