"The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservatives on Wednesday morning issued an order allowing Virginia’s late voter-purge program to go back into effect.

The Republican appointees gave no reasoning for their decision. The three Democratic appointees to the court only noted that they would have rejected Virginia’s request."

Law Dork · SCOTUS conservatives allow Virginia's late voter-purge program to go back into effectBy Chris Geidner

“'Unlike previous purges that this office has conducted, this one occurred without their previous practice of publicizing the purge,' Kayla Griffin, Ohio state director of All Voting Is Local, said…..

'Because of this lack of usual notification, groups like All Voting is Local and our partners could not inform voters they may have been purged and would need to register to vote again before the voter registration deadline that was just 12 days later.'”

"In Richmond, The Guardian’s Sam Levine reported, city officials flagged more than 11% of ballots returned by Black voters but only about 5.5% of ballots cast by white voters. After the ballots are fixed, or cured, the rate of rejection for Black voters remains more than twice as high as that of white voters.

Virginia officials also reported last week that they had accidentally removed more than 3,400 eligible voters from the rolls."

"A study by the Democratic Party of Virginia shows that officials are flagging the mail-in ballots of non-white voters for rejection much more frequently than those of white voters. As of today, 4.82% of ballots cast by Black voters have gotten flagged, while only 2.79% of the ballots of white voters have been flagged."

Letters from an American · November 3, 2023By Heather Cox Richardson

"Voter purges in red states have spiked in the last decade since the Shelby decision. They’ve targeted Black communities, and resulted in nearly 16 million voters nationwide being removed from the voter rolls just from 2014 to 2016. Voter purges are also notoriously unreliable, purging eligible voters in large numbers."
