Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant and tbh I’m not sure how people didn’t get that. Also, the state of Virginia is being active here by purging these voters in the first place. Status quo bias is a real thing and the AP seems to be bending over backwards to use it to make Republicans in Virginia and on the supreme court seem more reasonable than they’re being.
I’m honestly not sure how that contradicts what I was trying to say there, but yeah as for my source the next paragraph of the same article
So to recap, these voters were registered, Virginia tried to purge them less than 90 days before an election, a federal court told them to stop that and return things to normal, and the supreme court said “no, don’t stop,” so the AP headline that basically says “supreme court stops stop” seems overly convoluted to me and like it’s kind of burying the lede here
