Republicans are pushing the Supreme Court to weaken one of the most important protections against last-minute voter suppression. The Court has agreed to hear a case involving Arizona laws that could allow states to cancel voter registrations based on alleged citizenship concerns during the final 90 days before a federal election.

The National Voter Registration Act requires covered states to finish systematic voter-removal programs before that 90-day quiet period begins. The rule protects eligible voters from discovering at the polls that an unreliable database, outdated record, or government mistake has erased their registration without enough time to fix it.

Republican officials want courts to pretend that database sweeps identifying thousands of voters are merely collections of “individualized” investigations. Trump’s Justice Department is advancing the same strategy while seeking sensitive voter-roll information from states and attempting to run it through a federal eligibility database that has wrongly flagged American citizens.

Secretaries of State and Attorneys General are responsible for standing between eligible voters and this coordinated purge campaign. They can enforce federal protections, reject unreliable mass challenges, direct local election officials to protect registrations, notify affected voters, restore anyone wrongly removed, resist improper demands for voter data, and fight unlawful purges in court.

The federal quiet period begins August 5. State officials cannot wait for voters to be stripped from the rolls before responding. They must establish strong protections now and guarantee that every eligible voter can register, remain registered, and cast a ballot that counts.
