Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares on Wednesday called the Supreme Court's order halting a lower court's decision to reinstate hundreds of potential noncitizens to the state's voter rolls "a huge win for the rule of law."Â
"This is just a huge win for the rule of law," Miyares told Fox News Digital shortly after the Supreme Court issued its order. "It ensures that Virginia will be allowed to follow our laws that make sure that noncitizens are not on our voter rolls for next week's elections, that we're not going to be forced to be putting 1,500 plus noncitizens back on our rolls."
"I'm very grateful that the Supreme Court recognized the importance of the issue and they made this decision in such a short timeframe," Miyares said. "It's really just a reaffirmation of our commitment to both election integrity and making sure that our electoral process remains secure for all Virginians."

"And I'm very, very proud of my team because their commitment to the rule of law has been exemplary during this process," Miyares said.Â
