Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented from the court's decision to halt an outlier federal appeals court ruling that would have further limited voting rights, which previously allowed states to restrict voters' access based on their voter registration history. The dissenting justices argued that the ruling was 'well-reasoned' and should not be overturned. In contrast, the majority opinion upheld the appeals court's decision to reject the states' request for relief from a federal court order. The case centers around a lower court ruling in Texas that restricted voters' ability based on their past voting history.
