[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The legality of removing a candidate from a ballot after early voting has begun, thereby disenfranchising those voters, seems like a question for the state supreme court or a federal court not for a local circuit court judge. Hopefully this is being appealed [/quote]

Has a candidate ever been removed from a ballot in Virginia after voting has begun?[/quote]

These things happen routinely in all states.

Here is a recent case in South Carolina, disqualified after voting has begun and with the name on the ballot:
