The Supreme Court has permitted the removal of at least 1,600 individuals from Virginia's voter rolls before the November elections, undermining federal protections against purges.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares celebrated the court's decision, which they argue backs their strategy to strengthen state authority over voter registration.
Critics point out that these purges will inevitably disenfranchise eligible voters, as evidenced by the handling of citizens who checked noncitizen boxes on DMV forms.
The ruling raises alarms about the potential for other states to follow suit in systematically removing voters at the last minute, risking civil rights.
