The Justice Department on Friday ordered California election officials to identify suspected noncitizens on voter rolls and set aside their mail-in ballots — warning that officials who knowingly count ballots cast by noncitizens could face criminal liability.

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.

    Let’s see…

    Jason Kirkland - citizen.
    Pedro Pascual - non citizen.
    Pedro Pascal - non citizen. But very European! Alina Lee - non citizen. (But excellent porn actor).
    Fred Mayer - totally a citizen John Doe - citizen.
    Jane D Vargas - non citizen.

    That’s how easy it is to remove our right to vote. Months later oh oops! I guess these were citizens, we’ll returned them from the gulag when they pay for IDs.
