A divided Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Virginia to implement a program that state officials say is aimed at removing suspected noncitizens from its voter registration rolls, siding with Republicans in one of its first significant decisions tied to next week’s election.


The decision, issued without comment from a majority of conservative justices, will allow the state to keep off the rolls certain voters it suspects of being noncitizens.


Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, framed the effort in Virginia as a commonsense way of ensuring noncitizens don’t vote. But the Biden administration, voting rights groups and lower courts said Virginia’s program also ensnared – and potentially disenfranchised – an unknown number of citizens.


Even though Virginia isn’t a battleground state, both the program and the legal fight took on sharply political overtones as Trump and other Republicans have fueled false narratives about widespread voting by non-citizens. At issue are about 1,600 voter registrations that Virginia said came from self-identified noncitizens but that a US District Court said hadn’t been fully vetted for citizenship status.


Noncitizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections; none of the lower court rulings had changed that fact.


Trump and other Republicans have seized on claims of illegal voting and that was part of the argument they made to explain the former president’s loss in 2020. But documented cases of noncitizens voting are extremely rare. A recent Georgia audit of the 8.2 million people on its rolls found just 20 registered noncitizens – only nine of whom had voted.


The Virginia case began with an order signed by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, in August that required election officials to take more aggressive steps to match residents who self-identified as noncitizens at the Department of Motor Vehicles against voter rolls and to purge those matches.


Youngkin on Wednesday called the Supreme Court’s order a “victory for common sense and election fairness.”

 
These non-citizens signed statements that they were not citizens.

The fact that the Democrats had to be taken to court to prevent non-citizens from voting speaks volumes about them,

The illegals were allowed to cross our borders and to be flown in over our borders, for the one very specific reason...to vote for Democrats...power...party over country, always with these radical, far left Democratic loons.

Suspects? That means it is likely that qualified voters are losing the right to vote. They lose their right to vote on suspicion.

Yep lets let right wing poll workers kick people out because they think these Americans who are registered Dem are not real Americans.
Just more right wing voter suppression.
 

Governor Glenn Youngkin on Federal Judge Ordering Virginia to Reinstate Noncitizens Back Onto the Voter Rolls​

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


"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."

Why do Democrats want people who have no legal right to be in America...to vote?

because they are brainwashed by globalist into hating their own nation.

this is what globalists institutions try to do to all people in every nation.

they have failed.
 
In a statement, Youngkin called the Supreme Court’s decision a “victory for commonsense and election fairness.”

“Clean voter rolls are one important part of a comprehensive approach we are taking to ensure the fairness of our elections,” Youngkin said. “Virginians also know that we have paper ballots, counting machines not connected to the internet, a strong chain of custody process, signature verification, monitored and secured drop boxes, and a ‘triple check’ vote counting process to tabulate results.”

Did I SAY THAT????
NO .
But I DO want real AMERICANS that are registered to be able to vote .
NOT have some Repuk poll worker be the one to decides if they can or not.
IF YOU ARE an AMERICAN and a registered voter you should be able to vote.

It is simple. To qualify to vote you have to be a citizen. The Dems are all for that. The reds find they are more successful when turnout is lower.The Repub voter repression had been going on since the 1980s.
 
If ONE legitimate voter was excised from the voter rolls,
whomever is responsible for that decision should be boiled in oil
along with everybody who supports it.
