SCOTUS Strikes Down Biden-Harris in Key Voter Case
BREAKING: Supreme Court allows Virginia to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. Question is, why were they on there in the first place?
Attorney General Merrick Garland claimed the state of Virginia stood in violation of the National Voter Registration Act as it was still removing names from voting rolls within 90 days of the election.
A judge ruled that Virginia had to cease in the removal of non-citizens and needed to notify the people who were removed that they were still eligible to vote in the election on November 5th.

Virginia’s Governor Glenn Youngin appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court, pointing back to a longstanding law on the books in the state of Virginia which allows them to remove the name of non-citizens from voter rolls after those persons have been given three chances to either correct the error or confirm their status as non-citizens.
Thankfully, SCOTUS ruled in favor of Virginia in a 6-3 vote with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson ruling in favor of the Biden-Harris administration’s request to allow non-citizens to vote.
Youngkin stated, “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.”
Thanks to SCOTUS acknowledging the rights of states to determine how they carry out elections, the case in question today allows Virginia to comply with their own voter law.
“The application for stay presented to the The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is granted. The October 25, 2024 order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia… is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and disposition of a petition for write of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought.”
