Waste of time and effort. DC doesn't control State election rules. Goes for how long it takes to count ALL the votes, too.

"Waste of time and effort."
It's an another weak ass attempt to sow chaos. There is no risk to election employees. The state will protect them. There is a process. Those letters will just be sent to the elections division of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State will issue instructions.
The blue wall will hold.

MAGA Influencer Who Makes Frequent Claims of Dem Voter Fraud Let Three Unrelated People Use His Address to Vote: Report www.mediaite.com
... MAGA influencer Scott Presler, who has routinely accused Democrats of voter fraud, has been accused of allowing at least three people unrelated to him and who do not live with him to use his Pennsylvania home address to cast their ballots in 2024. Hartnett added: An individual who wishes to vote in Pennsylvania must, by state law, reside in the state and the intended election district for at least thirty days before Election Day. The address provided when registering to vote must be considered the residence . . . in which his habitation is fixed, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning.' The law also makes clear that a person shall not be considered to have gained a residence in any election district of this State into which he comes for temporary purposes only, without the intention of making such election district his permanent place of abode.' Presler's PAC Early Vote Action said in a statement to The Bulwark, "Mr. Presler is a generous person who, over time, has had friends find residency in his home while actively working and residing in Pennsylvania. EVA PAC takes its voter registration compliance with law very seriously. Several of the residents that once lived in Scott's home have now since departed and found residence elsewhere in other states"yet as you've shown, the PA voter rolls continue to reflect their names here. It is pure madness that PA can't clean up their voter rolls." But Hartnett also investigated "financial documents, voting records, and social media activity" that "calls into question whether these friends' had truly established residency in Pennsylvania as defined in state law." He continued: ...

Democrats want noncitizens to vote. They want as much vote fraud as possible. They aren't even coy about it.

@#7 ... Democrats want noncitizens to vote. ...
Welcome back to another of your current trolling aliases.
That aside, allow me to ask ...
Got any evidence of that assertion?

They are opposed to any and all verification of their voting rolls.

@#9 ... They are opposed to any and all verification of their voting rolls. ...
Are those verification requests legal?
Once again, got evidence?
Or just the usual trolling for replies of your current alias?

Its in the California State Constitution.
California Constitution Article II - Voting, Initiative and Referendum, and Recall Section 2.
Universal Citation: CA Constitution art II 2 SEC. 2. A United States citizen 18 years of age and resident in this State may vote law.justia.com

@#11 ... Its in the California State Constitution. ...
So, I'll ask again...
Is it legal for the Federal government to make those requests?
Your current alias' comment seems to indicate that it is up to the state, not the Federal government, to make that determination.
Thank-you to your current alias for giving credence to my concern and the over-reach of the Trump admin in this manner.

I'm all for following the law. Verification process this close to the election isn't following the law. Fine. I get that. However they oppose cleaning up their rolls at all times and it's obvious why.

That's a lie.
Clearly, states like NV and UT clean regularly.
Why are you lying???

What a joke you have become.
You are all for the Hoi Polloi obeying the law.
But ... Anyone who has access to power or who can afford a squad of lawyers is immune from it.
It's a pretty sick world that you are "all for".
However they oppose cleaning up their rolls at all times and it's obvious why. Not even worth replying to that lie.

The National Voter Registration Act bars systematic voter roll purges within 90 days of an election.
That is the Law.
Is Dingaling "all for" it?
Not likely.

The article spells out "identity" and "segregate" on citizen voters.

The action will suppress more votes than all the illegal voting convictions in that state.
But that's the goal, isn't it? Not "protecting the vote". Suppressing where it's wanted.
It's why they don't care if innocents are ensnared. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

"Identify potential noncitizens"
What does that mean?
You have to be a citizen to register to vote in California.
Therefore. There are zero non citizens on the voter rolls.
This is nothing more than performative nonsense for MAGA morons to froth about.
Look at this thread to see them.
