U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles, appointed by President Joe Biden, indicated during a court hearing that evidence suggested some of those removed were actually eligible voters. The Justice Department had requested the reversal of these \u2064removals,\u2064 supporting the claim that \u200bthe process was flawed. Virginia&#8217;s Attorney General, Jason Miyares, \u200dcriticized the ruling, asserting that the action, encouraged by the\u200c Biden\u200b administration, was politically motivated and came just weeks before\u200d the Election Day.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Judge orders Virginia to reinstate 1,600 voters removed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-harris-admin-is-fighting-to-keep-noncitizens-on-voter-rolls\/\" title=\"Biden-Harris Admin Is Fighting To Keep Noncitizens On Voter Rolls\">program targeting noncitizens<\/a><\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1837362\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A federal judge ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Virginia<\/a> on Friday to restore voter registration rolls for just over 1,600 people who were removed under Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/glenn-youngkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glenn Youngkin<\/a>&lsquo;s (R-VA) executive order aimed to disqualify noncitizens from participating in the election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles, an appointee of President Joe Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3202067\/virginia-judge-appears-ready-to-halt-youngkin-voter-roll-cleanup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">signaled<\/a> how she would rule during an all-day hearing on Thursday over the Justice Department&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/politics\/3186857\/doj-sues-virginia-noncitizens-being-removed-voter-rolls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">request<\/a> to reverse the state&rsquo;s removal of these voters, citing evidence submitted in court that some people removed from the rolls were eligible voters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Attorney General Miyares Releases Statement on Court Ruling Regarding Non-Citizens On Voter Rolls<br \/>It should never be illegal to remove an illegal voter.
