Democrats sue Trump, DOJ over effort to remove voters from state rolls - The Washington Post
Dear Allison, thank you for the daily early morning updates.
Hold those who vote illegally in any elections accountable, as well as anyone who aided and abetted them, sure!
However, it remains as proven fact that rate of such occurrences are so minute that it does not warrant the tactics of this administration, or the DOJ.
This administration is targeting non-white voters and non-male voters in addition to non-Republican voters, including those in these categories who are legal voters.
Due to the SAVE Act, here in NV, a purple state where measures were taken to align with the SAVE Act ahead of potential enactment, when my wife and I move here in January, she had to jump through extraordinary hoops to prove who she is right down to her birth name because her name has changed.
Even me, a 63 year old man had to also jump through extraordinary hoops to prove my identity even though I have had the same name from birth.
I found out prior to her that even my actual original birth certificate was unacceptable. It had to be an original (not a copy of) certified, stamped birth certificate. Thankfully, in my case, I actually had both the original and a certified stamped original birth certificate in my possession, and because I didn't trust the system under this administration, brought both with me to the DMV.
The SAVE Act must remain dead in the water.
Now, we have an awful lot of threats of interference, as well as actual moves to prevent even legally authorized voters due to gender, skin colour and party affiliations.
This same group of people, this administration who tried to overthrow the 2020 election, it's affiliated election deniers are all determined to undermine, interfere and "steal" this midterm election under the guise of so-called rampant election fraud that has never been supported in fact.
Charges must be brought against all involved in election interference right on up to the top. This is not covered under (nor should be deemed as) an official act as president, therefore, no immunity should be applied.
