A federal judge has temporarily halted Alabama's voter removal program, which had flagged thousands of registered voters for allegedly being illegally registered.
The program was found to have mistakenly inactivated approximately 2,000 legally registered voters. The decision comes as a relief to many ahead of the upcoming presidential election, ensuring that eligible voters will have their status restored.

This ruling is seen as a critical step in protecting voting rights in the state.
