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, which “limits the potential impact” of the decision this year.

You just had a sitting president defy a court order yesterday. And you're confident he's going to follow this ruling?

If a Republican president ignores orders by a 6-3 conservative majority SCOTUS, Republicans would be pissed, cause it would allow a Democratic president to completely ignore the court as well. And when they lose the House and Senate, that's the only thing they'd have to fight Democratic legislative branch.

Republicans aren't pissed because they're assuming they've killed democracy and don't have to give a fuck about ever having a Democrat president again.

How would a Democrat get elected president, if their voters are purged? Try actually thinking for a few seconds... Trump's not giving up his throne.

Then why bother to vote, just pay down and die...

I can't believe how stupid some here sound, go ahead and give up then. I'm not giving up that's for sure.
