On election night they will just tell every registered Democrat they're not allowed to vote.

Noncitizen voting is extremely rare. All states are required to conduct voter roll list maintenance under federal law, and states already have processes to identify any noncitizens who do accidentally make it onto the voter rolls

Definitely something to end an article on instead of leading with it. 🙄

So surprised the Supreme Court would allow this. /s

Let me guess: 6-3 vote? Edit: yup. Just read. 6-3.

There's a provision in the law where they can't do any mass purges within 90 days of an election. So this ruling is limited to "individualized queries" for the rest of the 2026 cycle. But you can expect it to be a much bigger deal in the 2028 cycle if it doesn't get overturned.

(This is a situation where Congress has the power to change the law. Hint, hint.)

Because this administration has a history of following the law...

[-] santa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

And it won’t be followed either way with this admin, and it will be too late as Justice moves at a snails pace…

Why would Trump be purging voters? Is he in charge of state-run voter rolls now?

As the Trump administration encourages […]

Ah- he isn’t. Bullshit headline.

[-] TronBronson@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yea you're right only half the states are going to purge their voter rolls! I dont need to worry. Its just the shit hole states that will be doing it to save their republican incumbents.

[-] credo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Right, so call them out when they do it. It’s easy to name Trump so that he takes the fall (he’s not up for election) and let the others in the conspiracy- get off the hook. But it’s really those secretaries of state or election boards who would be to blame, not Trump when it actually happens.

Of course. But again who set the stage for it, who's will is being done. Nothing i can do about an election in Alabama im half way across the country. All the states that will do this have already been getting away with murder when it comes to fostering democracy in their elections lmaoo. We're talking about the states the government had to force voting rights laws on in the first place. The government not enforcing those laws anymore, while also encouraging similar behavior.... most of us have to look at the person in charge.

Check and double check your voter registration.

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

And if you live in Texas, don't rely on DPS to process your voter registration through the driver license system. File an application directly with your county registrar.

Even when so, the voter should have enough time to appeal before election day.

In court papers, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said that the district court’s ruling “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections” by preventing the government from responding to state requests to verify the citizenship of potential voters.

anyway:

Noncitizen voting is extremely rare. All states are required to conduct voter roll list maintenance under federal law, and states already have processes to identify any noncitizens who do accidentally make it onto the voter rolls.

So States can suck it when it comes to election? /s

Feckless headless chickens in the comments.

Go vote! Haha oops sorry that’s not allowed now, go vote harder! There’s absolutely no other option!

The country you deserve. The government you deserve.

This is in fact what democracy looks like. Look at it.

Do you feel grotesque yet?
