Supreme Court blocks attempt to restore names of around 1,600 non-citizens to Virginia voter rolls

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked a lower court order that would have required Virginia to restore over a thousand names identified as probable non-citizens to its voter rolls for the 2024 presidential election.
U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles earlier ordered Virginia to reinstate the names of about 1,600 probable non-citizens removed from the voter registration in August. Giles agreed with the argument of the administration of President Joe Biden and several immigration groups that the removal of these names within 90 days of a national election violated the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin immediately appealed the ruling. He noted that most of the flagged individuals had already submitted documents showing non-citizen status, a fact recently verified by federal authorities. Additionally, Youngkin argued that these names had been flagged as part of a legally sound review and stressed that the process was not "systematic," as the NVRA prohibits, but rather an "individualized" approach to voter verification.
