The Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Virginia have filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court of the United States to stay a decision by a Biden-nominated judge who blocked an effort to keep non-citizens from voting. After Virginia GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin ordered election officials to identify and cancel suspected non-citizens’ voter registrations on August 7, the Biden-Harris administration claimed Youngkin’s actions violated the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. On October 25, two weeks before the national election, U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ordered the state to restore more than 1600 voters’ registrations which had been removed as part of Youngkin’s efforts. “With only one week to our country’s most important election, Democrats are now taking extraordinary measures to keep non-citizens on voter rolls,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated. “Kamala’s Administration sued Virginia and is now arguing to the U.S. Supreme Court that non-citizens must remain on the voter rolls. We are supporting Governor Youngkin’s efforts in the Supreme Court and fighting for only Americans to determine the future of our country.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ As the amicus brief noted, “The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 was passed to ‘increase the number of eligible citizens who register to vote in elections for Federal office,’ ‘protect the integrity of the electoral process,” and “ensure that accurate and current voter registration rolls are maintained.’ The district court’s ruling, affirmed by the Fourth Circuit, cuts directly against these purposes. Rather than increasing participation by eligible citizens, and ensuring the integrity of our elections, the ruling below prohibits states from preventing self-described non-citizens from illegally registering to vote. This is not, and cannot be, correct.” “Due to the proximity to the 2024 election, there will be irreparable harm if the order below is permitted to stand unabated. The consequence of that order is that non-citizens — who all agree cannot legally vote — will be added back on the voter rolls at the last minute, diluting legitimate votes and exposing those non-citizens to a substantial risk of criminal prosecution should they misunderstand the lower courts’ order as a green light to vote unlawfully.”

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a push from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remove himself from the ballot in Michigan and Wisconsin, two critical 2024 battleground states. Kennedy had hoped the court would grant him an emergency ruling that would order election officials in the two Midwest states to remove his name from the ballot. How the justices voted was unclear, but Justice Neil Gorsuch offered a brief dissent in Kennedy’s Michigan appeal.  In a statement posted to X after the ruling, Kennedy said that election officials in Wisconsin and Michigan were playing politics by forcing him to stay on the ballot. Kennedy endorsed Trump in August and has since campaigned across the country for the former president.  “The Supreme Court has unfortunately today sided with the Secretary of State of Michigan and Wisconsin, both Democrats, to undermine election integrity and leave my name on the ballot in both those states,” he said. “It is a purely political move in the hope that folks who would have otherwise voted for Trump will throw away their vote by voting for me instead.” “Don’t let them undermine this election. Don’t be fooled. I am off the ballot in every other state I have sought to get of​f of other than Michigan and Wisconsin,” Kennedy added. “So, if you are in Michigan or Wisconsin, please make sure to vote for ​Donald Trump — DO NOT VOTE FOR ME. Together we will ​Make America ​Healthy ​Again!” In his petition to the court, Kennedy’s lawyers argued that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and the Wisconsin Election Commission were violating his First Amendment rights by forcing him to stay on the ballot.  “By recertifying the ballot to include Kennedy’s name as a presidential candidate, the Secretary has compelled his speech in violation of the First Amendment,” Kennedy’s lawyers wrote of Benson. “A review of the aforementioned facts clearly demonstrates that Secretary Benson has compelled Mr. Kennedy’s speech and, therefore, violated his Constitutional rights.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ This First Amendment argument was included in a dissenting opinion from Justices Chad Readler and Amul Thapar when Kennedy’s case was heard at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. In his dissent, Gorsuch indicated that he agreed with Thapar and Readler.  “This case presents a question of exceptional importance: Does forcing a person onto the ballot compel his speech in violation of the First Amendment? The repercussions of that question are enormous,” Thapar wrote. “If a candidate can’t stop his name from appearing on the ballot, could battleground states put President Joe Biden back on their ballots?” Benson and the Wisconsin Election Commission argued that it was too late to remove Kennedy from the ballot and would create a burden for election workers.  Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have spent significant time campaigning in Michigan and Wisconsin. According to recent polling, Trump and Harris are in a statistical tie in both states.

Sometimes a single word can capture a world of emotions, and in music, “leave” is one of those words that holds a surprising power. For rock artists, it’s a word that encapsulates departure, loss, liberation, and longing—a word that can turn an ordinary story into something resonant and deeply personal. From reflective ballads to high-energy anthems, rock music has seen many artists explore the theme of leaving in ways that stay with listeners long after the final note. In “Leave My Girl Alone,” Stevie Ray Vaughan channels raw blues energy, defending his love with a fierce protectiveness.
