The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against the state of California after determining that its voter list reveals more than 20,000 likely aliens are registered to vote in the state.
“State-facilitated voter fraud is unacceptable in the United States of America,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday in a statement. “If found responsible in a court of law, the State of California will have seriously undermined confidence in our electoral system and violated laws that protect our nation’s representative system of government. The Department of Justice will continue working to uncover cases of voter fraud, hold fraudsters accountable, and restore trust in American elections.”
In its complaint, the DOJ observes that, for each election in California, “the State automatically sends all registered voters vote-by-mail ballots.”
“Those ballots do not bifurcate between state, local, and federal elections. Nor do they warn aliens that they are prohibited to vote in federal elections,” the department asserts. “While California reviews signatures before tabulating cast ballots, there is a strong presumption of validity even for ballots signed not with a name but with a simple ‘X.’”
Having worked jointly with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – under Secretary Markwayne Mullin – the DOJ continues in the complaint that a “thorough analysis of voter rolls and federal data” revealed “thousands of likely noncitizens registered to vote in California who would automatically be sent federal ballots under State law.”
The department argues further:
Thus, months before California started sending vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters, the Federal Government alerted the California Secretary of State that a preliminary review of California’s voter roll revealed that numerous likely noncitizens were registered to vote in California … The Federal Government asked California to work collaboratively to identify any noncitizens registered to vote in the State. California made no serious effort to do so … and as required by State law, began sending vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters in early October—including, it seems, to those who the Federal Government considered as likely noncitizens.
In response to the DOJ’s complaint, California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber wrote that the letter sent to her by the department contained “Secretary Mullin’s vague allegation that non-citizens may be registered to vote in California.”
Weber added the DOJ was engaged in “unsubstantiated claims and outrageous demands.”
“[Y]ou demand that we request transmittal of the list, review and confirm the citizenship status of each of the approximately 20,000 individuals on the list on the eve of an election and within a mere 48 hours,” she protested. “This is an emergency of the DOJ’s creation.”
But First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California asserted in a statement that “California election officials were given an opportunity to remove noncitizens from their voter rolls and to sequester ballots returned from suspected ineligible voters. They refused.”
“We are taking California to federal court to demand that the votes of American citizens not be diluted by noncitizens,” Essayli added.
Mullin underscored that DHS and its federal partners “reviewed publicly available California voter-registration files and compared relevant records with federal immigration data to identify alien registrants.”
“This preliminary analysis has identified a significant number of individuals in California who are likely noncitizens and appear to be registered to vote; the analysis and review remain ongoing,” he said. “This is completely unacceptable — as even one noncitizen vote cancels out the ballot of an American citizen and undermines our elections.”
“DHS is committed to identifying unlawful voting, protecting the integrity of federal elections, and ensuring that only eligible American citizens elect America’s leaders,” Mullin added.
