Justice Dept Targets State Election Officials | Denver News

The Justice Department is sending a nationwide warning to all 50 states, threatening criminal charges against election officials who knowingly allow non-citizens to vote or remain on voter rolls — and demanding each state respond within five days. While the department claims this is about enforcing federal voter list integrity, it’s also quietly sharing data with Homeland Security for immigration enforcement, despite repeated court defeats. Though claims of widespread voter fraud by non-citizens are rare, the push continues with new laws and executive orders — many blocked by judges. State officials like Arizona’s Secretary of State are pushing back, calling the federal pressure baseless and politically motivated, insisting they’re following state law, not federal intimidation. The standoff highlights a tense, legally tangled battle over election integrity and who gets to set the rules. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
