Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the state to remove an estimated 1,600 people from its voter rolls ahead of the Tuesday election because they identified themselves as noncitizens. Youngkin attempted the purge in August so that it would go into effect before Election Day.
“Well, as you can imagine, I’m incredibly pleased with the decision today, and the Supreme Court reacted quickly,” Youngkin said on Fox News’sWednesday. “This is a victory for common sense, and it’s a victory for the Constitution. I also believe it’s real clarity that, in fact, someone who self-identifies as a noncitizen should, in Virginia, be treated by the law, which says you get two weeks, you’ll be notified, and if you can attest you are a citizen, you’ll be allowed to vote.
Virginia will continue to purge its voter rolls of noncitizens until Election Day on Tuesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson is working toward a national law that replicates Virginia’s.“Let me just take it one step further: Speaker Johnson’s advocacy for a national law to demonstrate that you are a citizen before you are allowed to vote is critical,” Youngkin said.
