The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the state of Virginia can continue to purge suspected illegal immigrants from its voter rolls. The emergency appeal allows the state’s Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, to move forward with an executive order he issued over the summer. Voter rights groups fiercely opposed the program. A judge ruled last week that he had illegally canceled the registrations of 1,600 voters since August, including American citizens. Donald Trump criticized the decision on Truth Social, writing: “Only American citizens should be allowed to vote!” » and baselessly accusing the judge, appointed by Joe Biden, of being a tool in Kamala Harris’ alleged plot to weaponize the justice system. Although it is very rare for non-citizens to vote, the Republican candidate has made numerous allegations regarding such fraud in his campaign message. He falsely accused Democrats of encouraging undocumented immigrants to vote. Wednesday’s ruling broke along ideological lines, with all three Democratic court appointees dissenting.
