WASHINGTON, DC – Following today’s Supreme Court ruling allowing the Glenn Youngkin administration to go forward with an illegal last-minute purge of Virginia’s voter rolls, People For the American Way President Svante Myrick released the following statement:
“Shame on Glenn Youngkin, and shame on the Supreme Court for trying to move the goalposts at the last minute in this election. This is exactly the kind of partisan election interference by a MAGA dominated Supreme Court that we are most concerned about this year. It’s very clear, as the Justice Department maintained, that this attempt to purge Virginia’s voter rolls is a violation of the ‘quiet period’ required in the 90 days before Election Day, but MAGA justices are choosing to greenlight this violation. This is why we will have all eyes on the Supreme Court as this election unfolds: we have serious concerns about whether the Court will fulfill its role as an impartial arbiter or act as an arm of the Trump campaign. This ruling is a red flag we can’t ignore.”
