WASHINGTON (AP) β The Supreme Court's conservative majority on Wednesday allowed Virginia to resume its purge of voter registrations that the state says is aimed at stopping people who are not U.S. citizens from voting.
The high court, over the dissents of the three liberal justices, granted an emergency appeal from Virginia's Republican administration led by Gov. Glenn Youngkin. The court provided no rationale for its action, which is typical in emergency appeals.
The justices acted on Virginia's appeal after a federal judge found that the state illegally purged more than 1,600 voter registrations in the past two months. A federal appeals court had previously allowed the judge's order to remain in effect.

It's sort of a tradeoff, on one hand too many requirements is voter suppression, on the other too little means fraud.
People needing to prove they are citizens to vote is fairly common across the world

It should be difficult and expensive to vote to negate stupid and poor people voting, which is the weakness of Democracy.

No, it is not. Black people will not die in line if they aren't handed bottle water and everyone carries a license. Expecting minimal effort is not a bad thing.

Having lines that take 1hr+ is a deterrent, that's a sign there should be more voting booths

Yes, more voting booths are fine. Purging voter rolls and Voter ID requirements do not stop that.

If you don't have enough of your shit together as a human being to be able to provide reasonable proof that you are a vote, you shouldn't be allowed to vote even if you technically are eligible.
