"The sloppiness of the elections in blue states is no accident. It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon says.
The Trump Justice Department is on track to compel more than half the states in America to clean up their voter rolls and believes sloppiness that left dead people and non-citizens in a position to vote in Democrat-run states is intentional, a top prosecutor told Just the News.
"The sloppiness of the elections in blue states is no accident. It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night.
"And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn't care enough to do it themselves," she added.
"What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state's requirement to keep clean voter rolls," she added. "That is a fundamental basic."
Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names.
She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters' names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law.
Dhillon said her office is now on track to force through litigation, settlement or voluntary efforts at least 26 states to clean up voter rolls.
"We're now in litigation with 14 states. So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington State and Vermont. That adds to eight we already had going," she said.
"We are close to reaching resolution, voluntary cooperation with another dozen states, and I won't say which those are, but I think we will definitely let the public know when that happens," she added. "We have voluntary cooperation from four states, and we reached a settlement in a consent decree with the state of North Carolina."
Dhillon said the DOJ is checking records from all states, and it has found some states like California that are particularly "loosey, goosey." She enumerated the sort of problems that are being uncovered in red and blue states alike.
"There are definitely people on the voter rolls of every state who don't belong there," she said. "They're dead. They've moved. They're registered multiple times there. There have been reported instances of people, because of these insecure, double or extraneous registrations, going to the polls and having their vote recorded before they got there.
Then there are clearly people on the voter rolls, including immigrants who are not citizens, and that can include legal immigrants and illegal immigrants, who are on the voter rolls," she added.
