The state Board of Elections said it has removed almost 39,000 names from the voter rolls because those voters have registered elsewhere, after a computer database check revealed names of people registered in Virginia as well as in other states. Virginia is participating in a multi-state program intended to make sure names on the voter rolls are valid.
Republicans say the process has been rushed and likely resulted in valid voters being purged, charging that the lists provided by the SBE to local registrars have errors. They also say there’s a whiff of politics in the purging of voter rolls so close to the November elections, especially given the involvement of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who’s on that November ballot in the governor’s race.
