@USAttyEssayli Why not arrest those that won’t comply with the federal government?

The people of California deserve transparency

California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls

California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:

-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)

Full list: https://t.co/BvfviJsYG8

This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.

We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.

On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.

For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.

@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.

What are they afraid of?

[America @america]

The State of California is not allowing the federal government to audit their voter rolls.

Wonder why that could be…

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

It is astounding that this could be tolerated in the greatest country in the world. Truly.

He's saying you can not be trusted to have an honest opinion, because you can not be trusted to take care of your own basic health necessities (ie diet and exercise). Obesity offers more insight into that person's mental capabilities than you might think. I disagree with ripping on someone for their looks - some people are just not attractive. But weight - that's real intel on how a person thinks and acts.

[Fugitive Caesar @ThomBrady5]

Let me know when a journalist even once interviewed Obama like this

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The reason ID is banned in California (and New York) elections is to enable large-scale fraud.

When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

Over the last 20 years…

Elections decided on Election Night:
Republicans: 52%
Democrats: 48%

Elections decided AFTER Election Night:
Republicans: 20%
Democrats: 80%

This is totally insane.

Nothing to see here…

This is the only way to save democracy in America

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

These are all common sense!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Helpful tool for improvement. It’s just physics thinking in the limit.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.

[Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @christopherrufo]

This is outrageous: We requested surveillance video of four recent homicides on the LA Metro. The authorities are now denying our lawful FOIA—because they are scared the truth will get out.

Hey @MetroLosAngeles, preserve your documents. We're not going to stop.

[Ian Miller @ianmSC]

@RobglobHLG Yeah see this is the level of utter stupidity I’m talking about

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

This is absurd. Once a ballot is received in Florida it is immediately logged as received. Once the election ends at 7pm on election night, we know how many ballots have been cast. Once you know the total number of ballots it closes off avenues for cheating.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes, SPLC is a criminal organization

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

🤔

Can’t think of a single time this happened
