This sort of thing is common earlier in the process, but I don't understand how a candidate's nominating petitions can be invalidated, even temporarily, after ballots have been printed and voting has started. Doesn't Virginia require petition challenges to be resolved long before that, as DC does? In the end Marcia St. John–Cunning got 61%, plus presumably most of the 5% write-ins, but apparently Republicans are still suing to prevent her from taking office.

Join a phone bank now through 31st. Talk to Virginia voters on the phone about how to cure issues with their ballots to ensure that every eligible voter can successfully cast a ballot in the critical 2021 elections.
