In a move that could be celebrated in the annals of election integrity, the Supreme Court rendered a decisive 6-3 ruling against the Biden Administration’s ill-fated efforts to keep non-citizens on Virginia’s voter rolls. As the 2024 presidential election looms on the horizon, the justices sent a resounding message: protecting the sanctity of the ballot box is paramount.
Virginia’s Attorney General, Jason Miyares, proudly announced the Court’s decision on social media, highlighting the victory for local governance and legal compliance. Miyares had previously filed an emergency stay with the Court to combat the Department of Justice’s audacious attempt to undermine Virginia’s electoral laws. It is worth noting that this initiative was launched by the Democrats when then-Governor Tim Kaine signed a law in 2006 mandating the removal of non-citizen voters. Apparently, maintaining the integrity of elections is no longer on the to-do list for the Biden Administration.
BREAKING: Supreme Court Rules on Whether Virginia Can Remove Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls https://t.co/Fd2DtIZOLS

Last week, the Biden-Harris DOJ bizarrely unleashed a lawsuit against Virginia’s Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, trying to wrest control of the state’s voter registration processes. Youngkin responded, pointing to the blatant overreach by an administration that seems more concerned with expanding its voter base than ensuring fair and honest elections. He labeled the DOJ’s maneuver as a “desperate attempt” that would be viewed by both Virginians and Americans as an outright attack on democracy itself. It's funny how the party that professes to protect voters often ignores the basic principle of who is entitled to cast a ballot.
The ruling is not just a slap on the wrist for the Biden DOJ; it’s a clarion call for election integrity. With the specter of upcoming elections, Virginians can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their voter rolls will adhere to legal standards rather than political whims. This crucial moment reinforces the notion that everyone—especially those in positions of power—must respect the law.
As the clock ticks down to election day, one thing is clear: Governor Youngkin, supported by a robust legal strategy, is committed to ensuring a secure and fair electoral process in Virginia. It is evident that the Biden Administration’s strategy, which seems more concerned with political gains than upholding electoral standards, is out of step with the values of the Commonwealth. The responsibility of safeguarding elections undoubtedly rests on the states, and this ruling is a crucial victory for those who believe in the rule of law and fair play in the electoral arena.
