WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Republican officials in Virginia to revive a plan aimed at removing noncitizen voters from the rolls ahead of next week’s election.
Virginia has same-day voter registration, meaning that any eligible voter who was removed from the rolls should still be able to vote.
The Justice Department said that while states can review its voter rolls, it cannot do so right before an election.
States are barred from systematically removing people from voters rolls within 90 days of an election under the National Voter Registration Act.
In court papers, the groups said that "the record makes clear that citizens are being removed from the voter rolls."
