Justice Department issues warning as GOP states try to clean noncitizens from voter rolls
The Washington Times ^ | September 9, 2024 | Stephen Dinan

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.

I don’t know what Trump has set up to prevent this...

He's "caught them all". Go here, and search for '13838' (Trump's EO, Foreign Interference in a domestic election):

Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List

U.S. Department of the Treasury - Office of Foreign Assets Control - Sanctions List Search

Bear in mind that "foreign" means Deep State, not that they are foreign nationals, but because they are not considered Americans under the *organic* United States Constitution.

Those states that have motor-voter election registrations will be gorged with illegal border jumpers. Getting them registered was the whole intention of the open borders led by czar, Comrade Kamala. The Commiedems know they will vote Democrat once they are getting the handouts.

And when Trump says he’s going to prosecute election fraud...the left freaks out.

But they support keeping illegals on the voting rolls.

The key here is “eligible voters”. Is an illegal alien now an “eligible voter” and therefore shouldn’t be removed?

The Constitution calls for the States to make all election rules and procedures, not the Feds.

They’ve already started prosecuting any of them that voted in the last election

They won’t reappear. Everything was done with scrupulous detail in observing the law. The democrats couldn’t even complain about it.

Gregg Abbott and Ken Paxton did this absolutely the right way.

1,000,000 is nearly 1 in 30 people, of all ages, in the State
