BREAKING: Supreme Court Issues MASSIVE Ruling For Red State Voter Rolls!

Great news to report, at least for those who appreciate the rule of law and Constitution in this country.

The Supreme Court has ruled that Virginia may proceed with it’s effort to purge non-citizens from its voter rolls.

JUST NOW: In a 6-3 decision, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that Virginia can remove illegal aliens from their voter rolls.

This is a reminder:

If you ARE NOT a United States citizen..

Then you SHOULD NOT be voting in United States elections.

Period.

Now if that sounds strange to you, you’re not alone.

Who ever thought we’d get to a point in this country where the Supreme Court had to step in and confirm that yes, it’s ok to make sure NON-CITIZENS are not on the voter rolls in any given state.

It’s common sense right?

Except a lower court ruled against Gov. Youngkin saying he couldn’t do it.

So Youngkin and the State appealed and were granted this relief from the Supreme Court.

WINNING!

Supreme Court rules 6-3 to allow Virginia to remove Illegal Alien Non Citizens from its voting rolls, lifting an order that halted the program.

Here are more details on the ruling, from the AP:

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday allowed Virginia to resume its purge of voter registrations that the state says is aimed at stopping people who are not U.S. citizens from voting.

One Virginian, whose registration was canceled despite living in the state her entire life, called the purge “a very bad October surprise.”

The high court, over the dissents of the three liberal justices, granted an emergency appeal from Virginia’s Republican administration led by Gov. Glenn Youngkin. The court provided no rationale for its action, which is typical in emergency appeals.

The justices acted on Virginia’s appeal after a federal judge found that the state illegally purged more than 1,600 voter registrations in the past two months. A federal appeals court had previously allowed the judge’s order to remain in effect.

Such voting is rare in American elections, but the specter of immigrants voting illegally has been a main part of the political messaging this year from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans.

Trump had criticized the earlier ruling, calling it “a totally unacceptable travesty” on social media. “Only U.S. Citizens should be allowed to vote,” Trump wrote.

Youngkin said voters who believe they were improperly removed from the rolls can still vote in the election because Virginia has same-day registration.

“And so there is the ultimate, ultimate safeguard in Virginia, no one is being precluded from voting, and therefore, I encourage every single citizen go vote,” Youngkin told reporters.

That option was noted also by the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for the White House.

“Every eligible voter has a right to cast their ballot and have their vote counted, and this ruling does not change that,” campaign spokesman Charles Lutvak said in a statement. “Our campaign is going to make sure every eligible voter is able to vote. Voting by noncitizens remains illegal under federal law.”

Rina Shaw, 22, of Chesterfield, Virginia, said she was born in Virginia, has lived in the state her whole life and has never left the U.S.

Shaw thinks she may have forgotten to check a citizenship box on a form when she was updating her voter registration at the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles while getting her learner’s permit.

“My first reaction was that that was just ridiculous and it shouldn’t have been allowed in October, of all months. It should have been something that happened six months before the election rather than right on the eve of it,” Shaw said.

She planned to cast her ballot during early voting on Wednesday and said she still found the error troubling. Shaw said her voter registration has now been restored.

The Justice Department and a coalition of private groups sued the state earlier in October, arguing that Virginia election officials, acting on an executive order issued in August by Youngkin were striking names from voter rolls in violation of federal election law.

BREAKING: Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin Files For EMERGENCY Election Stay -- Will Go To Supreme Court!

Imagine this....imagine in America, a Governor takes action to remove non-citizens (who by definition cannot vote!) from the voter roles.

Seems very basic and by the book, right?

Now imagine a Federal Court stepping in ELEVEN DAYS before the Presidential Election and ordering the State to put those non-citizens back on the voter roles!

That's exactly what's happening right now and it's why Gov. Youngkin just filed for an Emergency Stay.

What kind of bizarro world do we live in where a Governor has to fight the Courts to simply keep clean (and legal!) voter rolls?

Governor Youngkin released this Press Release earlier today:

RICHMOND, VA— Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement after a federal judge ruled to reinstate self-identified noncitizens back onto the voter rolls:

ADVERTISEMENT

"Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals–who self-identified themselves as noncitizens–back onto the voter rolls. Almost all these individuals had previously presented immigration documents confirming their noncitizen status, a fact recently verified by federal authorities.

"This is a Virginia law passed in 2006, signed by then-Governor Tim Kaine, that mandates certain procedures to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, with safeguards in place to affirm citizenship before removal–and the ultimate failsafe of same-day registration for U.S. citizens to cast a provisional ballot. This law has been applied in every Presidential election by Republicans and Democrats since enacted 18 years ago.

"Virginia will immediately petition the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and, if necessary, the U.S. Supreme Court, for an emergency stay of the injunction."

More here from local Fox42:

In a memo obtained by 7News, George W. Bush’s U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) wrote to the Virginia Attorney General’s Office in 2006 that it did not object to a law signed by then-Democratic Governor Tim Kaine that requires non-citizens to be taken off of Virginia’s voter rolls if they self-identify as a non-U.S. citizen.

But on Oct. 11, 2024, the Biden-Harris DOJ announced that it was suing Virginia for “violating Federal Law’s prohibition on systemic efforts to remove voters within 90 days of an election.”

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is defending his administration’s efforts to remove non-U.S. citizens from the voter rolls. Youngkin said his administration is enforcing the law that Gov. Kaine enacted in 2006.

“What's your reaction to that new development that the DOJ, as we're learning, approved this law?” 7News Reporter Nick Minock asked Gov. Youngkin on Wednesday.

“It furthers my frustration with the fact that the Department of Justice decided to bring this case 25 days before [a] presidential election,” Youngkin told 7News. “I mean, let's be clear, this law that we're operating under was passed in 2006 by then-Democrat Governor Tim Kaine. It's been in effect for 18 years. Republican and Democrat governors have applied it. The last two Democrat governors did in Terry McAuliffe and Ralph Northam during October within this so-called 90-day window. It is not a systematic or purging. It is an individualized program where someone walks into a DMV [Department of Motor Vehicles], self-identifies as a non-citizen, and then ends up on the voter rolls, whether by purpose or by accident, and then we go through a process of notifying them, giving them 14 days, and if they can't affirm they’re citizen, they come off the voter rolls. And the fact that the Department of Justice, back in 2006 reviewed this entire process and basically said it was OK only exacerbates my frustration with the fact that here comes this Department of Justice from the Biden-Harris administration filing a suit against us when we're just trying to make sure non-citizens aren't on the voter rolls. And you know the reality here, of course, is that if there is a mistake along the way, there is the ultimate safeguard in Virginia, which is you can walk up to a registrar, register [the] same day, and cast a provisional ballot. And so this, to me, is not only a political moment for the Department of Justice, I think it undermines people's faith in the Department of Justice because they should not be paying attention to a law that's been in effect for 18 years, they should be doing other things with their time as opposed to wasting people's time and money when we're doing the right stuff by the Constitution, and by Virginia law.”

And from ABC8 News:

A federal judge has ordered Virginia to put more than 1,600 people back on the state’s voter rolls after they were recently removed under a state program that the Justice Department and advocates say illegally took them off too close to the election.

Lawsuits from the Justice Department and advocacy groups allege that part of an executive order from Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin systematically removes alleged noncitizens from the rolls too soon to the Nov. 5 presidential election in violation of federal law.

The law — the National Voter Registration Act — requires Virginia and other states to stop systematically removing the names of ineligible voters from the rolls within 90 days of the election, known as a “quiet period,” to avoid errors that could take eligible voters off the rolls.

Advocacy groups that sued — the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, the League of Women Voters of Virginia and others – said that data shared by the state for the case shows more than 1,600 people had their voter registrations canceled under the program during the quiet period.

U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, who was nominated to the court by President Joe Biden (D), found Virginia’s system was systematic, not on an individual basis as Youngkin’s administration has contended, and ordered Virginia to reinstate those removed during the 90-day quiet period to the voter rolls.

Aaron Baird, a spokesperson for Protect Democracy, a legal group representing the groups, wrote in an email that Giles “ordered that purged voters be added back to the rolls and that the state must send corrective mailings to those voters.”
