The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has upheld Virginia’s recent voter registration purge aimed at removing non-U.S. citizens, a move led by Governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration. The court’s decision, opposed by the three liberal justices, follows a federal judge’s finding that the purge wrongfully canceled over 1,600 registrations, potentially violating the National Voter Registration Act’s 90-day quiet period. Governor Youngkin assured that those affected can still vote through Virginia’s same-day registration, but incidents like Rina Shaw’s— a lifelong Virginian who was erroneously removed—have sparked concern. Civil rights groups argue the purge is unfounded, asserting that no evidence exists of noncitizens voting in Virginia elections, and claim the process has mistakenly impacted eligible voters.
