AG Jones made the following statement in response to the Supreme Court of the United States’ denial of Virginia’s Petition for Emergency Relief in Scott v. McDougle: “Today’s one-sentence denial from the Supreme Court of the United States is yet another profoundly troubling example of the continued national attack on voting rights and the rule of law by Donald Trump, Republican state legislatures, and conservative courts. It leaves in place the deeply flawed ruling from the Supreme Court of Virginia, which overturned the results of a lawful election and erased the will of millions of Virginia voters." -AG Jones
