Trump’s DOJ is unserious — making unserious claims and seeking fear-mongering headlines.

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

Trump knows he’s at risk of losing political power. That's why he instructed the DOJ (unprecedented) to begin suing states — “red” and “blue” — to baselessly plant seeds of doubt about this next election. California will not stop defending democracy.

“This is the agency that is talking about integrity and security of the election yet they send us a thumb drive with a handwritten password on a post it note and asked us to use that without any context of how it was prepared or what was on that thumb drive”

Governor Newsom Press Office
@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

Reporter: No thumb drive sent to you? Orange County: NO Reporter: And no thumb drive sent to Secretary Shirley Weber? Thumb drive only sent to you? LA County: Correct. In fact, the list has still not been sent to the Secretary of State and it’s a statewide list.

LACRR/CC: There was no regard to the methodology that was used. No documentation that was provided. There was no verifiable information that was actionable for us under state or federal law with regard to voter registration.

LA County RR/CC: It appears this was a fairly orchestrated plan and there are parts of it that quite frankly are nonsensical. Little bit surprising, the list was not a list of people in LA County but a list of people throughout California.

All but 1 of the cases announced today were regarding a FED program or PRIVATE insurance USDOJ acknowledged that state officials assisted in the 1 that was state related Despite you and your colleagues claims, CA is holding fraudsters accountable (would suggest to the President not pardoning them)

THIS IS CODE RED !! Trump’s politicized DOJ is now saying out loud that they may interfere in the election in a desperate, unprecedented, and completely unAmerican and anti-democratic attempt to keep Trump and MAGA in power.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

WOW. Really questionable tactics by Trump DOJ officials (again). Two obvious questions must now be asked: 1) Why didn’t the Trump DOJ provide the 20,000 list to the CA Secretary of State in the first place? 2) Why didn’t the Trump DOJ provide the list to the other counties for cross-checking?

@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

WOW!! Yesterday, the Trump Admin said they had high confidence in the 20,000 names on their list. Today, it comes out that 38.9% of the 200 sampled names (from the 20,000 batch) indicated they were BORN in the United States!!

Governor Newsom Press Office@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

WOW. Trump’s #2 at DOJ just admitted this: “There may be some names on there who it turns out ultimately are citizens. We’re not perfect.”

How do you know the Trump DOJ is not taking the allegations they are making seriously? They are “teasing” a new batch in the press "Federal authorities this week teased a “separate batch” of 17K” Pretty quick admission the “high confidence” batch from yesterday didn’t turn out so good for them

In times of need — regardless of party affiliation, where you are from, language you speak — in America we come together to help one another. Today’s move is the antithesis of our founding values and a deeply disgraceful move by the President.

California adheres to Federal Law passed by Congress in the 1990s [see 52 U.S.C. 20504(c)(2) (Section 5 of the NVRA)] May want to brush up on your election law before tweeting. Perhaps Second Assistant is more apt from now on?

WOW Fox News conveniently left out key info this AM, which came straight from the Trump Admin during the press conference! Acting Deputy AG: “There may be some names on there who it turns out ULTIMATELY ARE CITIZENS. We’re not perfect” 1st Assistant: “I THINK the majority did cast a vote, NOT ALL”
