US SUPREME COURT REVIVES VIRGINIA'S VOTER ROLL PURGE OF 1,600 PURPORTED NONCITIZENS

The U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated Virginia's decision ahead of the Nov. 5 election to purge from its voter rolls about 1,600 people who state officials concluded were not American citizens, though President Joe Biden's administration and voting rights groups said actual citizens were among those struck.

The justices on Wednesday blocked a judge's Oct. 25 order requiring Virginia to restore the affected people's voting registration. It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in U.S. federal elections.
