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). (Related: Michigan's bloated voter rolls list nearly 500,000 names more than the total eligible voting population.)
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.
The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 order in favor of Youngkin and his appeal, temporarily blocking Giles' ruling. This pause enables attorneys of Virginia to continue their defense that NVRA provisions were never intended to restrict states from removing non-citizens from voter rolls when such individuals are deemed ineligible to vote.

Youngkin expressed his satisfaction with the decision and called it "a victory for commonsense and election fairness."
"We are pleased by the Supreme Court's order today," Youngkin said after the court ruling. He also commended Attorney General Jason Miyares for his role in securing the ruling.
"I am grateful for the work of Attorney General Jason Miyares on this critical fight to protect the fundamental rights of U.S. citizens. Clean voter rolls are one important part of a comprehensive approach we are taking to ensure the fairness of our elections."
The governor added: "Virginians also know that we have paper ballots, counting machines not connected to the internet, a strong chain of custody process, signature verification, monitored and secured drop boxes, and a 'triple check' vote counting process to tabulate results."
Miyares echoed these sentiments, adding that the ruling bolstered their stance on election integrity.
"This ruling is a win for election integrity and the rule of law. While I am gratified the Court moved so quickly, I remain deeply concerned and alarmed that the Biden-Harris administration chose to execute this maneuver just 25 days before an election. Today's ruling is a reaffirmation of our commitment to election integrity and I look forward to ensuring that our electoral process remains secure for all Virginians," Miyares said.
