U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco ruled that Alabama's voter removal process violated the NVRA's quiet period provision, effectively blocking the state’s program before the upcoming federal election.
The court emphasized that Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen failed to follow federal law, initiating a voter purge 84 days before the November election.
The judge's decision noted that Allen's list improperly included naturalized U.S. citizens, underscoring the risks of voter purges on legitimate voters.
This ruling is part of wider concerns regarding voter suppression tactics in Republican states, as similar challenges arise in Virginia against voter purges.
