Supreme Court Delivers a ‘Huge Victory’ for Election Integrity Just in the Nick of Time
The Supreme Court has recently intervened in a legal battle concerning voter rolls in Virginia, striving to uphold the integrity of the upcoming election by preventing the restoration of non-citizens to these rolls. On Wednesday, the Court ruled that Virginia does not need to comply with a lower court’s order to reinstate approximately 1,600 names to its voter rolls, following actions by Governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration that removed over 6,000 non-citizens. This decision aligns with a lawsuit filed by President Biden’s Department of Justice, which challenged the timing of Virginia’s voter roll clean-up, claiming it violated federal law 90 days before an election. Youngkin has defended his administration’s efforts to maintain accurate voter rolls by emphasizing the removal of ineligible voters, including deceased individuals. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton hailed the Supreme Court’s ruling as a significant victory against what he views as progressive attempts to dilute election integrity. The implications of this ruling are considerable, especially for the Democratic ticket, as Virginia is a crucial swing state. With election day fast approaching, the Biden administration and its allies are expected to push back against these developments. the article underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding voter eligibility and election security in the political landscape.
The Supreme Court is fighting to ensure the upcoming election is a legitimate one.
On Wednesday, the court ordered in a pending case that Virginia does not have to restore non-citizens to their voter rolls.
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden‘s Department of Justice announced it was suing Virginia after Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration cleaned up their rolls by removing non-citizens.
The DOJ claimed doing this 90 days before an election violated federal law, according to WJLA-TV.
Youngkin discussed the decision with WJLA in August: “We’re removing those that are not eligible, and yes, we’ve removed over 6,000 non-citizens from being on the voter rolls. We’re also removing those Virginians who sadly have died or moved away.”
News from the Supreme Court came after a federal judge ordered 1,600 of those names to be restored.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called this a “HUGE VICTORY” on social media platform X, in a time when many conservatives worry about the efforts by the left to allow illegal immigrants to flood the country and vote, potentially impacting the election.

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley posted a thread to X, which included a link to a website giving his take on the matter.
The Supreme Court has halted the order of the lower courts to restore alleged non-citizens to the Virginia voting rolls. Many of us have criticized the effort of the Biden-Harris Administration in taking this action. https://t.co/QTACay6iw2 It will now receive a new review…

Turley made it clear in this thread that if these non-citizens were to vote, it would be a crime.
With election day now less than a week away, the Biden-Harris administration won’t be happy with this news.
Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris will need all the help she can get.
Given that Virginia is a critical swing state, illegal votes being cast here could throw the election to her.
The Biden DOJ’s lawsuit is an effort to ensure that happens.
While illegal immigrants committing heinous crimes — and getting free food and housing — is bad enough, the fruits of Democrats’ labor will come on election day if all goes accordingly.
Youngkin and other public officials are remaining vigilant, but illegal ballots will be cast.
The Supreme Court seems to have saved the day here, but they can’t do this alone.
It will take a nationwide effort to maintain election integrity and name a legitimate winner.
