Supreme Court Allows Virginia To Purge Non-Citizens From Its Voter Rolls
The Justice Department had sued Virginia for trying to cancel the voter registrations, arguing that the state could be removing citizens who mistakenly identified as noncitizens.
The Supreme Court is letting Virginia proceed with its effort to purge self-identified noncitizens from its voter rolls, granting the Old Dominion’s request for an emergency stay after lower courts halted the move.
The dispute will now go back to the lower courts for resolution, according to an order by the Supreme Court released Wednesday morning.
