Summary
The Trump administration is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow states to purge voter rolls of alleged noncitizens close to election day. Voting rights advocates warn this would risk disenfranchising eligible American voters. The DOJ has asked the Court to intervene in a legal dispute between the Republican National Committee and Democratic/voting rights groups over Arizona voting restrictions. A ruling in favor could give states greater leeway to remove voters from rolls shortly before elections.
