Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin hit back at the Department of Justice's lawsuit against the state over an election reform law.

The DOJ filed a suit alleging the state, its board of elections and elections commissioner violated a federal law by carrying out an executive order by Youngkin .

The order directs municipal and/or state officials to cull names of people who are "unable to verify" that they are citizens.

Youngkin said he is not enforcing a voter roll "purge," but an "individualized" safeguard system.
