Justices Sonia Sotomayor , Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have denied the request from Virginia officials.
The high court granted a request from state officials to pause a lower court order that blocked Virginia from continuing its voter removal program that was launched in August .
A provision of the National Voter Registration Act requires states to complete programs aimed at purging ineligible voters from registration lists up to 90 days before elections.
Prosecutors said the state began its program on Aug. 13, 84 days before Election Day , and incorrectly deemed more than 2,000 eligible voters ineligible to vote.

She also ordered the state to restore eligibility to the deactivated voters..
