Va. Democrats sue to stop use of voter 'purge list'
/A federal lawsuit filed by the Virginia Democratic Party claims that some voters in the state may be kept from casting a ballot in November after their names were wrongly placed on a list meant to weed out fraud steal the election. The court action names Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R) as defendants and alleges that there were political motivations behind a "purge list" of about 57,000 voters whose names were [allegedly] also found on voter rolls in other states. The lawsuit, which comes as the contentious governor's race enters its last month, contends that the list is inaccurate and that many of those voters are eligible to vote Nov. 5 in Virginia.
