Eben Brown: 本报道主要关注弗吉尼亚州选民名单清洗案，最高法院裁决允许弗吉尼亚州暂时将超过一千名疑似非公民的选民从名单中移除。此举引发争议，司法部认为违反联邦法律，但最高法院暂时支持弗吉尼亚州的行动。此案可能对其他州产生影响，并预示着未来更多选举相关案件将提交最高法院。同时，报道还涉及其他州的选举相关法律问题，例如内华达州的邮寄选票问题和宾夕法尼亚州的临时选票问题，以及罗伯特·肯尼迪小将的名字是否会出现在选票上。这些问题都突显了美国大选前夕复杂的法律环境和最高法院日益增长的角色。
David Spunt: 最高法院的裁决是暂时性的，但对共和党来说是一场胜利，因为他们长期以来一直主张选民名单上有不合格的选民。司法部认为弗吉尼亚州州长杨金签署的行政命令违反了联邦法律，因为在90天的“平静期”内采取了行动。然而，最高法院的裁决暂时搁置了这一争议。此案的意义在于，它可能对其他州产生影响，因为类似的选民名单清洗问题可能在其他州出现。此外，最高法院越来越多地介入选举前的案件，这在以往是不常见的。
Glenn Youngkin: 作为弗吉尼亚州州长，杨金坚称他的行政命令是常识性的，旨在确保只有美国公民才能投票。他认为，即使有人被从选民名单中删除，他们仍然可以在选举日当天注册并投票，因此没有人被剥夺投票权。
