The Supreme Court granted a temporary victory to Virginia Republican officials, allowing the state to purge about 1,600 voters amidst claims of preventing noncitizen voting.
The justices who would have denied the state's request emphasized the concerns over voter eligible removals, particularly in light of contiguous federal election laws.
Despite claims from the Republican party regarding widespread noncitizen voting, studies indicate that such occurrences are quite rare, undermining the rationale for voter purges.
The Justice Department and civil rights groups warned against the potential disenfranchisement of eligible voters due to the governor's rapid executive order prior to the election.
