What was the reasoning behind the dissent by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, regarding the Supreme Court's decision?
Justice Jackson dissented by pointing to the potential for disenfranchisement. She noted that most states are barred from systematic voter purges within 90 days of a federal election, making it difficult to see how the government is harmed while proceedings continue. She stated that the harm caused by disenfranchising even a few lawful voters outweighs the "nonexistent harm" the government experiences by being prevented from taking an action it likely lacks the authority to take.
