Supreme Court Allows Virginia Voter Purge
News summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Virginia's Republican administration, allowing the state to purge over 1,600 voter registrations it claims are linked to noncitizens, despite objections that this violates the National Voter Registration Act's 90-day quiet period before elections. The decision comes after a federal judge had blocked the purge, citing concerns over the legality of removing voters shortly before a federal election. This action has drawn criticism from various groups, including the Justice Department, which argued that legitimate voters could be wrongly removed due to bureaucratic errors. Virginia's Governor Glenn Youngkin welcomed the ruling, calling it a victory for election fairness and security. The Supreme Court's conservative majority did not provide a rationale for their decision, which has intensified the debate around voter eligibility and registration practices in the U.S. This ruling reflects ongoing tensions over immigration and voting rights, which have been focal points in recent political discourse.
