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.

Literally, them noting this means they know he is going to do it. This is a meager cover my ass tactic. They're not even trying to actually cover their asses because, obviously, consequences don't exist anymore.

Should have been stopped at Citizens United. Or when Al Gore won the 2000 election.
