Trump DOJ Sues Eight Blue States For Failing To Maintain Accurate Voter Rolls
A top official in President Trump’s Department of Justice just put the entire swamp on notice.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon announced that states that do not comply with Justice Department requests to examine voter rolls face lawsuits, eight of which have already been filed…
Dhillon said, “This is an important task and tool that has really been neglected. In fact, when we started to bring these cases, some of the legacy lawyers in the Civil Rights Division told us that they were unfamiliar with how to do these cases. They’ve never been done in the Civil Rights Division before. So we were proud to bring back these statutes and enforce them.”
The era of looking the other way is over. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has made it clear that the Trump DOJ is finally cleaning house. States that refuse to maintain their voter rolls as required by federal law are now facing lawsuits. In a long-overdue move to restore basic integrity, the Justice Department has already sued eight states for their stubborn refusal to provide access to their voter data.
And you can guess who’s panicking. It should shock absolutely no one that the states fighting this common-sense audit are a who’s who of liberal bastions: California, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, and Maine. Their leaders aren’t responding with compliance; they’re responding with a full-blown political meltdown.
California’s Governor Newsom is, predictably, throwing a tantrum over the idea of federal monitors observing elections. Funny, as Dhillon noted, we don’t seem to remember him complaining when a Democrat-led DOJ did the exact same thing. This isn’t about principles; it’s about partisan hypocrisy. They aren’t trying to protect voters; they’re trying to protect a corrupt system that works for them.
