The Supreme Court's decision allows Virginia to proceed with its voter roll purge, rejecting lower court rulings that deemed such actions unlawful prior to elections.
Virginia's Governor asserts the executive order aims to remove ineligible noncitizen voters, but critics argue that eligible voters were mistakenly purged, undermining electoral integrity.

The legal battle underscores tensions between state efforts to enforce voter eligibility and federal protections designed to ensure eligible voters aren't wrongfully disenfranchised.
