Virginia has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate its program for identifying noncitizens on voter rolls. Simultaneously, Republicans are seeking an emergency order to block the counting of provisional ballots in Pennsylvania, potentially disenfranchising thousands of voters. Both cases reflect ongoing tensions between state voter laws and the protections for eligible voters amid concerns surrounding election integrity and access. Virginia's appeal follows a lower court ruling, emphasizing the contentious climate surrounding voter registration and ballot counting as the presidential election approaches.
