World News | Supreme Court Allows Virginia to Resume Its Purge of Voter Registrations

Washington, Oct 30 (AP) The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Virginia to resume its purge of voter registrations that the state says is aimed at stopping people who are not US citizens from voting.

The justices granted an emergency appeal from Virginia's Republican administration. The justices acted on the state's emergency appeal after a federal judge found that the state illegally purged more than 1,600 voter registrations in the past two months.

Such voting is rare in American elections, but the specter of immigrants voting illegally has been a main part of the political messaging this year from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans. (AP)
