The judge agreed with the Justice Department’s position that more than 3,000 people were removed from the state’s voter rolls too close to the election.

A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked Alabama’s voter removal program that flagged thousands of registered voters and accused them of illegally registering in the state.

The Justice Department sued the state of Alabama challenging the program aimed at removing voters from its election rolls, arguing it was too close to the Nov. 5 election.

The office of Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, a Republican, had referred to the program as “strategic efforts” to “remove noncitizens registered to vote” from the state’s voter rolls.

    14-year-olds still go to Spencer’s? Glad to hear that not everything has completely changed across the generations. Going to Spencer’s at the mall has been a teenage coming-of-age milestone since Gen X.
