Court upholds block on Virginia voter purge of suspected noncitizens
USA TodayNOV 1 2024
It's very unlikely that this voter purge will change the results of any races in Virginia. However, as the Republican-controlled Supreme Court has allowed this state to ignore federal voting rights law, other states may follow suit and defy the National Registration Voter Act's 90-day ban on purges and create nationwide chaos.
With this emergency order, the Supreme Court has stepped in to ensure election integrity in Virginia ahead of the Nov. 5 vote — preventing situations where noncitizens are able to cast a valid ballot. On top of that, this legal battle has further shown that Democrats effectively want noncitizens to vote.
