Dear Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, I joined 26 other states in filing a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging it to allow Virginia to continue removing non-citizens from its voter rolls. The Biden-Harris Department of Justice sued Virginia to halt this process, insisting that non-citizens remain on the rolls through the upcoming presidential election. Unfortunately, a lower court initially sided with the Administration, temporarily stopping Virginia\u2019s efforts to maintain accurate voter lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m pleased to share that, just 24 hours after our brief was filed, the Supreme Court rejected the Administration\u2019s attempts to interfere. This decision allows Virginia to immediately resume its work to ensure that only eligible citizens are listed on its voter rolls. This is a critical win for election integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This victory reinforces our commitment to fair and transparent elections, safeguarding the voice of each eligible voter. Allowing non-citizens on voter rolls undermines confidence in our election process, and it\u2019s alarming that the Biden-Harris Administration would legally challenge the removal of ineligible voters. Coupled with their lack of action at the southern border\u2014where over 13 million people have crossed illegally\u2014their resistance to basic election integrity raises serious questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the government fails to protect the integrity of our elections, it erodes public confidence in the entire system. Voting is one of our most fundamental rights in a democratic republic\u2014a powerful act of self-determination. Ensuring that elections are fair, transparent, and free of outside interference is essential to maintaining that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Idaho, I have consistently fought to keep non-citizens off our voter rolls and to hold organizations accountable when they misrepresent themselves or their issues to voters. While this victory in Virginia is significant, the fight to protect our Republic and ensure election integrity continues across every city and state in our nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As your Attorney General, I remain committed to preserving the integrity of our elections and the trust in our democratic processes. The foundation of our Republic deserves nothing less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
