The Supreme Court has weighed in after Virginia asked them to intervene in the Biden-Harris administration’s demand that they allow non-citizens to vote in the upcoming presidential election.
The order in the pending case came down 6-3, and will allow the state to comply with their own long-standing law to purge non-citizens from their voter rolls. Attorney General Merrick Garland had claimed that Virginia was violating federal election law by continuing to purge voting rolls within 90 days of an election.
A judge ruled that Virginia must stop removing non-citizens and must notify those who were removed that they are eligible to vote in the upcoming election. Governor Glenn Youngkin appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court, and the Court ruled in favor of Virginia.
