The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dropped a lawsuit which sought to stop the state of Virginia from removing non-citizens from its voter registration rolls.

That suit, brought by the DOJ under the Biden administration, stemmed from an Aug. 7 executive order by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin that sought to tighten up the state’s voting processes.
