THE TRUMP DOJ IS ESCALATING ITS ATTACK ON CA’S ELECTIONS. Yesterday, federal prosecutors sent threatening letters to election officials across California, giving them just 48 hours to respond to demands involving voters they suspect are noncitizens. 🧵

And here’s the problem: LA County’s review of an earlier DOJ list identified U.S.-born citizens, people who weren’t registered to vote, and people who had never voted.

Look at the timeline: 📌Oct 13: DOJ demands CA investigate suspected noncitizens on voter rolls w/in 48 hours 📌 Oct 15: DOJ announces lawsuit against CA 📌 Oct 23: DOJ escalates, sending letters to county election officials, demanding cooperation & warning of potential criminal consequences

They’re clearly building toward another confrontation over California’s elections, with Election Day just 10 days away. California is ready! State and local election officials have already been challenging the DOJ’s claims and defending their election procedures.

Even the most partisan of voters should be able to see that all of this is not about "election security" but about "we can't win if we don't suppress or outlaw people who might vote against us." But then again, I've seen enough street interviews with some of these people, and they don't think well.
