Virginia Supreme Court to hear arguments in GOP's rights restoration suit July 19
The Supreme Court of Virginia has set a special session July 19 to hear arguments in Virginia Republicans' lawsuit against Gov. Terry McAuliffe's blanket restoration of rights order.
The state's high court rejected Republicans' bid to set the arguments for next week.
The GOP had filed a motion last week to seek expedited hearing of the suit against the governor with aim of preventing Virginians whose rights have been restored from voting in the presidential election in November.
McAuliffe has estimated that at least 206,000 Virginians had their rights restored under his blanket order, issued April 22.
