WASHINGTON, DC – 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.
Under Youngkin’s EO, if a person getting a driver’s license checked a box on the license application saying that the person is not a U.S. citizen, but somehow that person eventually ended up on the voter rolls anyway – almost certainly by later registering to vote – election officials would send that person a letter informing them that it is illegal for noncitizens to vote, and that if the person did not show proof of citizenship to election officials within 14 days of receiving the letter, their names will be removed from Virginia’s voter rolls.
Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
