From: Virginia Governor Glenn YoungkinRICHMOND, VA -- Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement after the Supreme Court issued its ruling to allow Virginia to keep non-citizens off its voter rolls:
"We are pleased by the Supreme Court’s order on Oct 30th. This is a victory for commonsense and election fairness. 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. 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. Virginians can cast their ballots on Election Day knowing that Virginia’s elections are fair, secure, and free from politically-motivated interference."
