The Justice Department on Friday ordered California election officials to identify suspected noncitizens on voter rolls and set aside their mail-in ballot – warning that officials who knowingly count ballots cast by noncitizens could face criminal liability.
The stipulation marks an escalation in the Trump administration’s efforts to scrutinize voter rolls as the government continues to double down on claims of voter fraud, fueled by Donald Trump’s baseless allegations of widespread election cheating.
The administration’s claims have faced scrutiny, and some initial findings have not held up under further review. In Nevada, for example, DHS told state officials that its initial finding of 15,900 potentially noncitizen registrants was preliminary and unvetted, and that it had confirmed only 185 through manual review.
Last month, Nevada officials told DHS their subsequent review found that all 185 were US citizens, a conclusion the federal agency disputes.
They are building their excuses for why they will have to refuse to seat democrats from California and disqualify all of Californias electoral votes in 2 years.
It took Al Franken almost a year after he was elected to get sworn in because of bullshit legal disputes and maneuvering. So even though Franken’s election technically gave Obama a Dem majority in both the Senate and House, he really only had it for a month or 2 some other seat change flipped it back.
