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.
Only count the votes I want you to count sounds a lot like election rigging, sure glad they’re helping expose all this big bad fraud because otherwise I’d think it was self serving.
I suppose similar letters to places like FL and TX are slowly making their way via the old pony express and would get there in a couple months…
Trump is trying to make a new set of rules, such as: if a Democrat wins, assume they cheated and declare the Republican the winner
