Those voter rolls
It seems to me that this lawsuit by the DOJ has merit. Of course, it depends what judge hears it:
The Justice Department filed lawsuits Tuesday against six blue states: Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, accusing them of violating federal law by refusing to provide statewide voter registration rolls upon request.
The complaints, filed by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, argue the states failed to meet their legal obligations under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and the Civil Rights Act of 1960, three federal statutes that require states to maintain accurate voter rolls and make those records available for inspection.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said state refusals to disclose the lists undermine the transparency and accountability those laws were designed to guarantee.
Can’t argue with that. Except that of course these states will. They also are probably counting on the legal proceedings taking long enough that even a decision in the DOJ’s favor would not be implemented in time for the midterms.
I also suspect that, if somehow the SAVE Act is passed before the midterms – unlikely, but theoretically possible – legal challenges might hold it up so that it could not go into effect for the midterms.
It isn’t just that the left wants illegals or non-citizens to vote. They want them for purposes of inflating the census count in their states, they want them for congressional redistricting, and they want them for all sorts of federal goodies like school funding, which is based on average daily attendance. They’re not in favor of loose borders because of some sort of misguided liberal sympathy for the world’s unfortunate, it’s because of the myriad opportunities for beak-wetting, self dealing, and log rolling.
Hey, looks like another round of the fairest, most honest, most transparent elections in the history of the Republic.
The other simmering election concern is the alleged slowdown on the Voting Rights Act decision from leftist justices, to prevent the expected outlawing of race-based congressional districts for the 2026 election cycle.
But, but, but, privacy!
Have no idea how they rig it, but they will find a Commissar Judge.
Agree Sgt Joe Friday. Also the more programs for Illegals the more bureaucracy with high paying salaries.
Yeah, about those voter rolls.

Of course that is Thune’s plan all along! He’s a Democrat pretending to be a Republican. He may very well slow-walk it so long that it dies on the change to the new Congress. Did you expect something else?

Some good ol’ 80s pop:

Thanks to AesopFan. I am, and have always been, strongly against voting by mail–with the single possible exception of American military people stationed abroad who have no other way to vote. I oppose voting on any day other than election day equally strongly–and with the same single possible exception. These conditions should be addressed immediately.
Note that none of this high-magnitude debacle of dead people being on voters’ rolls has anything to do with illegal immigrants voting fraudulently–and thus is not addressed by the SAVE Act’s emphasis on proofs of citizenship–which are, not incidentally, problematic for some totally lawful citizens to obtain.
This is simply treason and eventually it will have to be dealt with… hopefully legally but if not, circumstances will demand it be settled by other means. The left is apparently constitutionally incapable of realizing that playing with fire is, sooner or later a losing proposition.
@betsybounds:proofs of citizenship–which are, not incidentally, problematic for some totally lawful citizens to obtain.
If by “some” you mean “at least one”, I would agree, but it is an exceedingly rare problem which could easily be fixed for the vanishingly small number of people who would actually have it.
Any person who has ever had a job should easily be able to do it, since the documentation requirements are not any more difficult. There is almost no citizen in this country who CANNOT get a photo ID and who CANNOT either get a certified copy of their birth certificate, a CRBA, or their naturalization documents. Nobody but citizens has any business voting.
Betsy, Niketas,
This is why policy should not be made from the margins. There is always ‘toxic empathy’ and the ‘exception that proves the rule’.
If the Democrats thought they could win in fair elections they wouldn’t be engaging in a systematic, wide-ranging and absolutely dishonest and immoral means to manipulate the vote.
Here in the People’s Republic of Northern Virginia I just voted against a state constitutional amendment that will give the legislature free rein to gerrymander a purple state into a deep blue state. All the campaigning and advertising for this amendment, and even the ballot question itself, have been deeply dishonest.
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
This!
“If the Democrats thought they could win in fair elections they wouldn’t be engaging in a systematic, wide-ranging and absolutely dishonest and immoral means to manipulate the vote.”
There is no other reason.
Dems (and their rino collaborators) should lear (sic) the Trump way of war. He will kill their party from the top down. After a half a trillion in theft by Cali, Trump is justified to remove the cali and other resister governments by Presidential Proclamation, courts, congress and constitution be damned.
