Supreme Court Issues Massive Last-Minute Election Ruling

THE SIGNAL

In a stunning decision on Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, allowing state officials to start the process of expunging up to 1,600 voters from the rolls ahead of Election Day.

In August, Republican Youngkin gave election workers instructions to start the process of eliminating thousands of voters who may be either minors or noncitizens and hence ineligible to cast ballots. The U.S. Justice Department sued to halt the purge, citing a federal provision that restricts states’ ability to update voter records within 90 days before an election. Youngkin’s successful appeal to the highest court now guarantees that he can proceed with election integrity measures, even though a federal judge sided with the Biden administration.
