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?
Newark chaos at Delaney Hall ICE facility: Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s decision to pull back local control and insert state police has backfired into total anarchy.
Protesters are jumping on hoods of departing vehicles, physically grappling with drivers, and blocking exits forcing one driver to hit the gas to escape.
Great job @GovSherrillNJ, you are setting an example for piss poor leadership!
🚨 BREAKING: Leftist terrorists are ABSOLUTELY WINNING here outside Delaney Hall in Newark, and civilian staffers are getting NO SUPPORT as their cars are smashed
THIS IS A JOKE.
NATIONALIZE THE GUARD IF THE STATE REFUSES TO ACT
ICE agents and civilian staffers should NOT be subjected to this abuse. PERIOD.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
A Baltimore nonprofit run by a Maryland lawmaker received more than $100 million in taxpayer dollars, while auditors repeatedly flagged problems with its financial reporting and internal oversight, according to a Spotlight on Maryland investigation.
Del. Dana Stein, a Baltimore County Democrat, has worked as the executive director of Civic Works for roughly two decades while serving in the statehouse. Civic Works, which has received about $145 million in taxpayer funding since 2016, runs workforce, housing, environmental and community revitalization programs, primarily in the Baltimore area.
Stein earns more than $200,000 annually at Civic Works and has served in the General Assembly since 2007. He chairs the Maryland House Environmental subcommittee.
