A coalition of 24 state attorneys general has joined Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares in urging the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the commonwealth’s removal of “self-identified noncitizens” from voter rolls.
Miyares announced late Sunday that the commonwealth would file an emergency appeal with the court in a last-ditch effort to block a ruling in an order from the U.S. District Court to return over 1,500 noncitizens to the voter rolls that have been removed since Aug. 7.
A unanimous panel of judges from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Virginia's request in a rare Sunday ruling to stop an order from a lower court to reinstate noncitizen registrations removed from voter rolls.
