Educate. Advocate. Mitigate. Activate!
The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against Robert Page, the Orange County Registrar of Voters in Orange County, California for refusing to provide the Justice Department with records pertaining to the removal of non-citizens from its voter registration list and for failing to maintain an accurate voter list in violation of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
“Voting by non-citizens is a federal crime, and states and counties that refuse to disclose all requested voter information are in violation of well-established federal elections laws,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Removal of non-citizens from the state’s voter rolls is critical to ensuring that the State’s voter rolls are accurate and that elections in California are conducted without fraudulent voting. The Department of Justice will hold jurisdictions that refuse to comply with federal voting laws accountable.”
The Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section enforces the civil provisions of federal statutes that protect the integrity of the vote, including the Voting Rights Act, National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act, and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).
Thank you DOJ and AAG Dhillon for supporting common sense Election Integrity efforts!

Orange County, CA has historically voted very Republican. Certainly there has been Democrat “creep” over the past 30 years with the younger generation moving in and the conservative population dying off and/or leaving the area. Obama lost twice, then Trump lost three times in that county. I suspect part of those losses is an influx of non-citizens voting. We will see what the DOJ finds.
