WASHINGTON, D.C. – Stand Up America Managing Director of Policy and Political Affairs, Brett Edkins, issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to allow Virginia officials to purge over 1,600 registered voters from the rolls just days before the presidential election in violation of the National Voter Registration Act:
“This 11th-hour move by the Roberts Court to allow Virginia to purge registered voters from the voter rolls is a troubling attempt by the Supreme Court’s MAGA majority to come to Trump’s aid just days before the election. This last-minute purge will impact American citizens, including newly-eligible voters, and undermine our democracy and the freedom to vote.
“Americans deserve a nonpartisan Supreme Court that will stand up for our rights and protect the will of the people – the Roberts Court is not it. We must turn out in record numbers to keep Trump out of the Oval Office and prevent him from appointing even more MAGA justices who put partisan interests over Americans’ freedom to vote.”
