We recently reported that the state of Virginia was purging its voter rolls of noncitizen immigrants, people who are legally ineligible to vote. Virginia recently deleted 1,600 of these noncitizens.
The Biden Administration then claimed that this move was a violation of federal law, and sued Virginia to stop it. The case went to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia which upheld the suit. Subsequently, the far-left U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit sustained that ruling.
Virginia in turn asked the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay on the ruling, which would allow Virginia to keep noncitizens off the voting rolls during the upcoming elections. The Court agreed with that motion in a six-to-three ruling. The stay will remain while the Court of Appeals goes through a full review of the case. The loser will then have the option of taking the case to the Supreme Court for a ruling on its legal merits.
“This is a spectacular victory for election integrity and the rule of law,” declared Ken Blackwell, who heads the Center for Election Integrity at the America First Policy Institute. He added that “Americans overwhelmingly support the federal law that forbids noncitizens from voting in federal elections, and I applaud both the Supreme Court for upholding the law here and Governor [Glenn] Youngkin for cleaning up Virginia’s voter rolls.”
