I think you are misunderstanding. The ruling emphasises that non-citizens do not have the right to vote, but concludes that the authorities were not stringent enough in confirming the people they wabted struck off voting lists were in fact non-citizens. Assuming tue list contains unknown quantities of both non-citizens and citizens, is it better to deprive citizens of their right to vote or take the risk that non-citizens might vote? Is there a tipping point in the ratio that would change your mind?
JD Rucker notes, in the video, that the ruling affects about 1,500 self-declared non-citizens. Whether this is a little or a lot depends on your view of what really happened in 2020. I just watched Trump's interview with Rogan, and Trump claims he'd heard the vote tally put him about 22,000 votes short of victory, nationwide. This seems to tie into the idea that tiny acts, like this ruling in Virginia, are enough to nickel-and-dime a victory on the national level. Maybe, maybe not, but the idea isn't implausible to me. The Virginia ruling might be inconsequential, or it might be part of a series of molehills that, together, make a mountain.

AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
