The Justice Department issued a warning to states Monday to tread lightly in trying to clean up their election systems of bogus names and ineligible voters, firing a shot across the bow of GOP-led states that have been trying to erase noncitizens from their rolls.
Department officials also released a web video pleading with people to come forward with stories if they think they have been “improperly” removed.
In new guidance to states, the department said federal law allows states to clean their rolls, but it must be done within strict guidelines and only for approved reasons such as a voter has moved out of the jurisdiction, has died or has requested removal.
Someone who has been inactive can be removed only after being notified and failing to show up for two more federal elections.
Changes cannot be made too close to an election.
“As we approach Election Day, it is important that states adhere to all aspects of federal law that safeguard the rights of eligible voters to remain on the active voter lists and to vote free from discrimination and intimidation,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, who heads the department’s Civil Rights Division.
The warning is chiefly a restatement of the Justice Department’s interpretation of federal law. But the timing suggests an effort to push back against Republican-led states that have in recent weeks announced the removal of noncitizen names from their rolls.
It also comes as Republicans in Congress have signaled they’ll move to attach language discouraging noncitizen voting to the looming stopgap spending bill to keep the government open into the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.

The commies want to make damn sure their ability to steal this election and coronate Queen SpreadTheLegs goes without a hitch.
Just-us Dept: “Leave our illegal voters alone.”
DOJ, there is no lower life form in the multiverse than you and your comrades. Not even Dorkbama/Biden & the Ho.
The states should tell the injustice dept to f off
Justice dept has no power over state elections. Arrest them if they show up.
It’s the same people in government who are forcing the 3rd world into the U.S. towns and cities.
They’re seeding the country.
This would throw of the % needed for Democrats to "win" the election.
The states need to arrest ALL DOJ employees and charge them with election interference and set their court dates in 2028.
Sadly no state AG will do that.
Hey!
DOJ - Check this out:
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
If you need a copy of the U.S. Constitution, I can provide it.
Texas just removed over 1,000,000 inactive and ineligible voters from the voter rolls. The state also will directly monitor vote counts in Harris county (Houston).
This election should be interesting.
Look at this, we got the justice dept. issuing threats at the same time Scamala saying she will grant amnesty to illegals.
Does ANYONE still believe illegals aren’t voting??
"Voters" with an address which is a vacant lot are simply fraudulent and must be removed.
"Voters" registered to an address which has more than ten "Voters" should be reviewed and most likely removed. They are probably not residents, unless the address is a nursing home or other group facility.
"Voters" registered to an address which is a church or homeless shelter should be removed. There is no way to know if these people even exist, and the presumption should be that they do not exist.
"Voters" who have not voted in the last ten years should be removed from the rolls. A reasonable presumption is that they are dead or have moved out of the area.
A State-issued ID must be required for persons registering to vote.
The Justice Department has already shown they are in favor of conditions which assist Democrat vote fraud. They are doing everything they can under "pretense of law" to obstruct efforts to clean up voter rolls.
Awesome! Did he just put that out? They are definitely cheating. Besides this threat from the “justice” dept, Scamala also said she will grant amnesty to illegals.
WHY would she say that unless they were bribing them to voting Democrat?
I don’t know what Trump has set up to prevent this, but I hope it works
We are living in an occupied country
doj worry about the wrong peoples,.....
the dead ones won’t hurt them
Any person or entity that is against voter ID and a clean registration roll is for voter fraud.
And guess who decides what "too close" is...
I’ve been rewatching “Sons of Liberty” all afternoon. Increasingly, when I saw or heard the rancor directed at King George and the English troops imposing his will on the colonies, I started seeing our own Federal Government and not George and his goons. Still seeing it. No actual difference if you ask me.
Eff you ‘justice’ dept.
