The Supreme Court granted Virginia a stay on a lower court ruling, allowing the state to continue purging non-citizens from voter rolls.
The six justices did not explain why they granted the stay, and the dissenting justices also did not provide an explanation.
Virginia asked SCOTUS for an emergency stay after the Fourth Circuit sided with the DOJ, forcing the state to stop removing non-citizens from the voter rolls.
The DOJ claimed Virginia violated Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision.
That rule says states cannot remove voters from rolls “no later than 90 days before federal elections.”
Youngkin signed the EO on August 7. The election is November 5.
