There’s a difference.
So what?
Virginia law permits same day registration/voting up to election day.
In other words removing faulty registrations from the rolls only prevents those ineligible from voting.
If you are not on the rolls because you checked the wrong box at DMV, you can simply register when you vote.

What was unconstitutional about it?
Yeah, you like this decision,. That’s the difference.
So he was breaking the federal law.
I realize your authoritarian bent doesn’t care about that, but others do.
Illegal immigrants are not allowed to vote.

The law doesn’t suggest they are. And in fact insisted that individual registrations be voided at any time. It speaks only to systemic purges that can - and in the case of this list, did - wipe out eligible citizens registration.
But regardless, the law is the law. And the court rewrote it. They legislated from the bench. They engaged in judicial activism.
That’s not the point. The law creates an unconstitutional situation.
And the Court did not rewrite the law. The Court suspended the enforcement of the law. Your exaggerations are pathetic.

No, there’s another difference.
I’m authoritarian because I don’t care about federal law?
You approve of a governor doing as he pleases despite the law.
Sure, sure.
Except that the actual law that the SCOTUS tossed without explanation says that you can’t.
SCOTUS…revered arbiters of law in beloved democracy when we agree with their opinion, authoritarian tyrants when we don’t.

Or maybe they just threw out a temporary injunction that was placed upon the state without showing irreparable harm to anybody.
The SCOTUS is the law.
