Supreme Court Upholds Youngkin Order Removing Noncitizens from Virginia Voter Rolls | 30 Oct 2024 | Federal law allows Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) to stop noncitizen voting by removing noncitizens from Virginia voter rolls, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered on Wednesday in a massive win for President Donald Trump, Republicans, and election integrity supporters. Youngkin removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls in Virginia between January 2022 when he took office and July 2024, pursuant to a state law in place since 2006. Then in August, Youngkin issued an executive order (EO) directing election officials to continue this program in advance of November's election. In addition to the initial 6,300, another 1,600 persons have been removed from voter lists in the Old Dominion pursuant to Youngkin's EO. On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court issued the stay by a 6-3 vote, upholding Youngkin's EO and keeping the noncitizens off the voter rolls in Virginia. This stay will remain in place while the Fourth Circuit goes through the full appeals process in the months ahead... Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Kentanji Brown Jackson voted to deny the stay.
