The stay was issued 6 to 3, along ideological lines, with leftist Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting with the opinion that illegal aliens and ineligible voters should be permitted to cast ballots.

BACKGROUND – On August 7th, Virginia’s Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order expediting the removal of noncitizens from the state’s voter rolls. The state maintained that the program followed only removed those who were ineligible to vote due to lack of citizenship. These were self-declared ineligible voters.
Earlier this month the Justice Department and advocacy groups intervened, suing the state. They contended that Virginia had purged some eligible voters and that it did so in violation of a federal law that bars removals from voting rolls in the 90 days prior to an election.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
