DOJ Goes to Bat For Illegal Voting

DOJ Goes to Bat For Illegal Voting

by John Hinderaker in Biden Justice Department, Merrick Garland, Voter Fraud

The State of Florida is trying to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls. Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is fighting that effort, so Florida has gone to court:

Florida authorities on Oct. 16 sued the U.S. government, alleging that U.S. officials are illegally refusing to cooperate with Florida’s effort to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls.

State law requires state authorities to maintain accurate voter registration records. Federal law requires the federal government to respond to inquiries from federal, state, and local government agencies that are “seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency.”

But when the Florida Department of State asked U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for data on individuals whom Florida authorities identified as potentially being noncitizens who are registered to vote, USCIS’s director wrote back and said the agency could not offer any information that is not contained within the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program.

Florida authorities have access to the program, but it is insufficient to check all possible noncitizens, according to the suit, because the program requires officials to have biographic information and an immigration identification number to check a person’s citizenship status.

An overwhelming majority of Americans–even most Democrats–want honest elections, but Joe Biden’s DOJ is on the side of voter fraud and other forms of illegal voting. Thus, in a sort of mirror image of the Florida case, Merrick Garland’s DOJ is suing the State of Virginia to prevent it from cleaning up its voter rolls:

The Virginia governor’s office is hitting out at what it says is an “unprecedented” lawsuit by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in response to Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s efforts to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls.

The DOJ is claiming that Youngkin violated the National Voter Registration Act with an executive order that required the election commissioner to regularly update the state’s voter lists to remove individuals who have been “identified as noncitizens” and had not responded to a request to verify their citizenship in 14 days.

Virginia has announced that it has removed more than 6,000 individuals between Jan 2022 and July 2024.

[I]n a memo obtained by Fox News Digital, the governor’s office called the DOJ’s move an “unprecedented lawsuit” that targets the state “for appropriately enforcing a Virginia law, signed by then-Gov. Tim Kaine in 2006, that requires Virginia to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls – a process that begins when an individual themselves [sic] indicates they [sic] are a noncitizen during a DMV transaction.”

The memo is penned by Richard Cullen, counselor to the governor, and says that Virginia’s process has taken place under both Republican and Democratic governors. It also argues that the 90-day quiet period is not relevant “since Virginia conducts an individualized—not systematic—review per Virginia law in order to correct registration records.”

It doesn’t take a genius to see what is going on here. The Democratic Party believes that most illegal votes are cast in its favor, and no doubt the Democrats are right about that. Merrick Garland’s utterly corrupt Department of Justice is, therefore, doing what it can to further illegality in our elections.
