The Supreme Court has agreed to temporarily pause a lower courts order that reinstated 1,600 voters to rolls in Virginia even though an appeals court found the purge of voters occurred in violation of a quiet period barring systematic changes to rolls so close to Election Day.

The order issued Wednesday noted that Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Kentanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan would have denied the request. There is no further explanation behind the order.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), an ally of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump , had issued an executive order in August to use data from the Department of Motor Vehicles to remove people from the states voter rolls. Certain individuals were supposed be notified that their registrations would be canceled if they could not confirm their citizenship within 14 days.

Youngkins order triggered a wave of lawsuits, including from voting rights groups and the Department of Justice. They argued that the executive order ended up unfairly removing eligible voters due to bureaucratic errors that improperly labeled some people as noncitizens.

The plaintiffs which included the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, the League of Women Voters of Virginia, and the League of Women Voters of Virginia Education Fund, along with African Communities Together also alleged that the purge was discriminatory, but no court has reached a decision on that claim.

U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles ordered Youngkin to reinstate 1,600 voters just days ago, after finding that many Virginians said they werent aware that theyd been flagged as ineligible to vote.

The systematic changes to rolls, Giles found, violated the National Voter Registration Acts 90-day quiet period. The decades-old law bars major changes to voter rolls out of consideration for real-life time constraints, as 90 days would leave little time for voters or the government to remedy problems that may arise shortly before an election.
