House Republican Leader Todd Gilbert issued the following statement:

“The safety of our communities cannot be sacrificed just so that Democrats can feel good about themselves at cocktail parties.

Leader Gilbert Statement on Today’s U.S. Supreme Court Ruling

House Republican Leader Todd Gilbert issued the following statement:

“Today’s Supreme Court order isn’t just a victory for the Commonwealth of Virginia: it’s also a victory for common sense. Noncitizens cannot vote in our elections, and as such, people who self identify as noncitizens should be required to clarify their citizenship status. Without this order, the Biden-Harris administration would have forced as many as 1,600 self-identified noncitizens back onto the voting rolls. Congratulations to Governor Youngkin and Attorney General Miyares on a job well done.”

And that is exactly what will happen unless this ruling is overturned. House Republicans stand with Governor Youngkin and Attorney General Miyares in their effort to ensure that only American citizens vote in our elections.”
