High Court Allows Virginia to Remove Non--Citizens from Voter Rolls

 The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with Virginia, reversing a lower court ruling preventing the state from removing non--citizens from its voter rolls pending the outcome of ongoing litigation, the Christian Post website reports today (Oct. 31, 2024). 


In an order released yesterday, the Supreme Court announced that it had granted a request from the state of Virginia to stay an Oct.25 decision from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruling that the state had violated federal law by removing voters believed to be non--citizens from the voter rolls within 90 days of the 2024 presidential election. 


The stay will remain in effect until a panel of judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Court issues a ruling on the appeal of the district court decision or if  the Supreme Court grants a writ of certiorari to hear the case.
