The U.S. Supreme Court now has been asked to decide whether noncitizens should be on the voter rolls in the state of Virginia.
It’s illegal, of course, for them to vote. But a lower court judge ruled just days ago the state must restore 1,600 names of people who self-identify as noncitizens to voter rolls.
At issue is the National Voter Registration Act that forbids “systemic” removals of names within 90 days of an election.
The state has explained its removal of those names was not “systemic” but based on the noncitizens themselves who identified as ineligible to vote.
