SCOTUS GIVES TRUMP A WIN ON ELECTION SECURITY, AN INDIANAPOLIS TEACHER GETS BUSTED FOR RUNNING A CHILD FIGHT CLUB, AND A POWERFUL NOR'EASTER COULD MAKE LANDFALL THIS WEEKEND FROM NEW YORK TO MASSECHUSETS. I'M GEORGIA HOWE WITH DAILY WIRE EXECUTIVE EDITOR JOHN BICKLEY. IT'S FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH, AND THIS IS EVENING WIRE.

The Supreme Court has restored the Trump administration's expanded system for checking voters' citizenship against federal records, allowing states to resume sweeping voter verification using social security numbers and immigration data. The administration says the system helps prevent non-citizens from voting, while critics warn that unreliable records have wrongly flagged eligible citizens and led to canceled registrations. The ruling blocks a lower court order that halted the system, with the court's six conservative justices in the majority and the three liberal justices dissenting. The decision comes ahead of November's midterm elections as Republicans seek to maintain control of Congress.

John Bickley (2:40)

Republican Senator Mike Lee is sounding the alarm after a new report found that 30,000 non-citizens were registered to vote since 2000 Immigration reporter Ginny Tehr has more.

Ginny Tehr (2:52)

Reuters reported Wednesday that more than 30,000 self-declared non-citizens had been added to the voter rolls due to quote software glitches and clerical errors across 11 states. California, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

How many of those non-citizens actually voted is unknown. In a speech on the Senate floor the same day, Lee blasted those standing in the way of the Save America Act and said the new report is yet more proof that we need better protections.

Mike Lee (3:26)

That thing that they claim never happens, voter fraud or non-citizen voting, just keeps happening over and over and over again. Mr. President, it should not be any easier for someone to get away with voter fraud at a polling location on voting day than it is to cheat the Olive Garden through its never-ending pasta pass.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is casting doubt on the drowning death of 18-year-old black teenager Nolan Wells during a Fourth of July boat trip in Mississippi, suggesting Wells was murdered by his white friends. Take a listen.

Hakeem Jeffries (4:07)

Nolan Wells was a star athlete, and yet the claim is that he accidentally drowned. Nolan Wells allegedly gave his keys, his wallet, and his cell phone to his friends. Why in the world would he do that? An independent autopsy found that Nolan Wells had trauma and severe bruising to his head, and yet that appears inconsistent with an accidental drowning. A lot of questions remain.

We're going to make sure we get the answers. Justice delayed for Nolan Wells will not be justice denied.

Georgia Howe (4:49)

The grand jury, which included black jurors, found that Wells did in fact die by drowning, with no evidence of a fatal injury or physical altercation. After reviewing testimony from 43 witnesses, more than 100 subpoenas, GPS data and surveillance footage, the grand jury concluded the evidence supported an accidental drowning.
