Virginia officials asked a federal appeals court to overturn a judge’s order blocking them from mailing absentee ballots or printing regular ones for the state’s Republican primary pending a Jan. 13 hearing.
Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli today filed an emergency request with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Richmond, arguing that ballots for the March 6 primary need to go to the printer immediately in order to meet legal deadlines to provide ballots to absentee and overseas voters.
