Complaint Seeking to Protect Virginians from Last Minute, Illegal Voter Purges

On October 7, 2024, CLC, Protect Democracy, Advancement Project, and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law filed a complaint on behalf of the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights and the League of Women Voters of Virginia challenging Virginia’s last-minute and systematic voter purge program that relies on faulty and outdated data. The purge program particularly targets naturalized citizens, who are entitled to exercise their fundamental freedom to vote without barriers, like all U.S. citizens. This lawsuit comes on the heels of a letter CLC wrote demanding that Virginia stop its illegal purge program.
