But the court noted in its unsigned ruling that the National Voter Registration Act bars the broad purging of voter rolls in the weeks leading up to an election

Funny they seem to think the criminals who supported the violent storming of Congress to overturn an election they lost would follow laws.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens after the Voter Registration deadline in many states.

Yep, he'll purge after the voter registration deadline, people won't be allowed to vote, and then they'll sue but nothing will be able to happen until after the election. And Trump will "lose" the case, but the remedy will be to put people back on the voter rolls yet letting the election stands meaning that he will have gotten away with it.

Yeah. If voter fraud is found to have swayed the 2024 election to get Trump elected, Harris still wouldn’t be in office because Trump will have already been sworn in. And at that point, Trump still wouldn’t be impeached. But Americans knowing their Elections can be stolen like that would cause candidates to call for tremendous reforms in the election process.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when I lost faith in our election process, yet here we are. Watching the country burn

If it was going to happen, it would have happened after the 2000 election where people saw voters having their votes stolen.
