A last-ditch Trump administration effort to hunt for noncitizen voters ahead of November’s elections is requiring federal employees to misrepresent themselves on voter lookup tools in a way that likely violates state laws, according to a federal whistleblower’s statement released Monday.
The Department of Homeland Security probe known as the “Unlawful Voter Initiative” also asks employees to create federal law enforcement records about voters based on unreliable data, the account warns. That could potentially wrongly implicate U.S. citizens in official documentation that could spur further investigation.
The anonymous, nearly 30-page disclosure was published Monday by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, the ranking member of a Senate committee overseeing federal elections.
Honestly, considering their track record over the course of the time I’ve been politically-aware, this is more of a prediction than a warning.
I’ll believe they’ll stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when I see it. They are absolutely legendary at dropping the ball at the 1-yard line.
Almost like they’re focused on absorbing and neutering any social movement that threatens Wall St profits and keeping the left flank politically engaged so they won’t revolt, and don’t really care that much about governing or even winning elections…
