The Facts
The US Supreme Court issued an emergency order on Wednesday reinstating Virginia's purge of suspected noncitizens from its voter registration rolls ahead of Election Day next week.
A final ruling on the issue has been left for a future date, with three Democratic-appointed justices — Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor — indicating their opposition to the program.
The Spin
There's a 55% chance that the 2024 US presidential election will also be considered fraudulent by the losing party, according to the Metaculus prediction communityDem.
