Federal Judge Blocks Alabama's Voter Purge Program on October 16, Affecting Over 3,000 Names
Oct 16, 2024, 08:35 PM
On October 16, a federal judge blocked Alabama's voter purge program, which aimed to remove over 3,000 names from voter rolls. The program, initiated by Secretary of State Wes Allen, was halted due to its proximity to the upcoming election and a high error rate of 63% in identifying non-citizens. Judge Anna Manasco, a Trump appointee, ruled that the purge caused irreparable harm and ordered the restoration of active registration status for both American-born and naturalized citizens. The decision included a preliminary injunction and sided with the Justice Department and civil rights groups, who argued that the program improperly included eligible voters.
