A judge orders Virginia to restore 1,600 voter registrations purged ahead of the election ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday ordered Virginia to restore more than 1,600 voter registrations that she said were illegally purged in the last two months in an effort to stop noncitizens from voting. U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles granted an injunction request brought against Virginia election officials by the Justice Department, which claimed the voter registrations were wrongly canceled during a 90-day quiet period ahead of the November election that restricts states from making large-scale changes to their voter rolls. State officials said they will appeal. The ruling also prompted criticism from former President Donald Trump, who posted on social media that the ruling “is a totally unacceptable travesty,” “Only U.S. Citizens should be allowed to vote,” Trump wrote. In issuing her ruling Friday, Giles bristled at the suggestion she was restoring the voting rights of noncitizens. She said the state lacked proof that the purged voters were noncitizens but went ahead and canceled their registrations anyway in violation of federal law. U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles serves in the Eastern District of Virginia, having been nominated by President Joe Biden in 2021 and confirmed by the Senate later that year. Prior to her judicial appointment, Giles had a significant legal career, including two decades as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, where she gained experience in prosecuting complex cases.
