Supreme Court Involvement in Voter Purging

The Supreme Court has authorized Virginia to conduct a voter roll purge, impacting over 1,600 residents, amidst concerns that it violates federal law. The governor asserted that the purge involved individuals self-identifying as non-citizens and argued that the 90-day pre-election quiet period does not apply in this situation. However, federal courts previously ruled that such mass purges should be prohibited during this period to prevent errors and protect voter rights. This decision highlights the tension between state-level actions and federal voting regulations.
