The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an emergency challenge from Virginia regarding a federal judge's decision to reinstate potential noncitizens to the state's voter rolls. This decision, a win for Gov. Glenn Youngkin, follows an emergency appeal filed by Virginia to halt the lower court's ruling to restore the names of around 1,600 individuals to the voter rolls.
At the core of the case is the question of whether Virginia's voter removal process violates the quiet period mandated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). This federal law requires states to cease all 'systematic' voter roll maintenance for 90 days before a federal election.
