Lawsuit Claims Alabama Voter Roll Purge Targets Citizens
News summary

A coalition of advocacy groups has filed a lawsuit against Alabama's Secretary of State Wes Allen, alleging that his voter roll purge threatens the voting rights of naturalized citizens who were previously issued noncitizen identification numbers. The lawsuit claims that the purge policy, which targets over 3,000 voters, violates the National Voter Registration Act by requiring these individuals to re-register, thus undermining their fundamental right to vote. Supporters of the lawsuit argue that the policy is discriminatory and based on faulty information, potentially disenfranchising eligible voters, including U.S.-born citizens. In a separate legal matter, the Nevada Republican Party is challenging Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar for allegedly allowing non-citizens to vote in the 2020 election, despite a prior investigation dismissing these claims. Additionally, a long-standing lawsuit against former President Trump and the Republican Party has resurfaced, aiming to prevent voter intimidation in predominantly Black urban areas ahead of the 2024 election. These cases highlight ongoing tensions surrounding voter rights and systemic challenges within electoral processes across various states.
