Supreme Court Upholds Virginia Voter Roll Purge

Recent controversies have emerged around voter registration purges in the United States, centering on issues of legality and voter suppression. Virginia's attempt to purge 1,600 voters from its rolls, targeting noncitizens, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, sparking criticism for bypassing federal law that prohibits such actions within 90 days of an election. In Arizona, a federal judge has ordered the release of voter roll records but rejected a demand to immediately purge 1.2 million voters, highlighting fears of speculative claims about ineligible voters. Additionally, Alabama faces a lawsuit over similar actions, with the Supreme Court's Virginia ruling adding uncertainty to the outcome. These incidents underscore ongoing tensions over election integrity and the role of the judiciary in electoral processes.
