This June 1 Reply from the DOJ, in United States v. Koski - the federal case to obtain oversight over Virginia's mismanagement of its voter rolls - has compelling arguments. The Court should rule in DOJ's favor ASAP, instead of letting Koski et al delay. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

Neglected voter roll maintenance is an open invitation for fraud. Tennessee is not immune.
Voter rolls should not sit untouched between elections. Principle 4 supports routine voter roll maintenance using reliable government records and verified data sources. Accurate rolls strengthen confidence in elections. The Model Election Laws Handbook provides gold standard principles and model laws for state solutions. Explore the handbook here and bring solutions to your state: modelelectionlaws.org

Even @ChrisCuomo agrees California should stop obstructing and start complying with a federal audit of its voter rolls. Transparency and oversight is the best way to instill confidence and trust in the election system. And yes, Chris, California is the only state that allows unfettered third-party ballot harvesting: no ballot limit, no collector restrictions, and no chain of custody. You can read the law yourself: codes.findlaw.com/ca/electio…
Trump-appointed U.S. attorney Bill Essayli tells @ChrisCuomo "there is evidence of voter fraud" in California and they're investigating voter rolls but did not give specifics. "If you were to say to a judge, 'We don't know that they didn't do it' ... that works in politics but not in law," Cuomo said.

Replying to @TheModerateVA
datastudio.google.com/report… No tricks, just free data, absent of party influence, funded by your taxes, available to any candidate. @EpecTeam that's what we do. Cut the umbilical cord of control of special "databases" and provide them directly to candidates.

While ballots trickle in for days, even weeks, after election day. Big case.
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court is issuing opinions. One of the highest profile cases left is Watson v. RNC -- which asks whether states can count ballots that arrive *after* election day. Funniest time to issue it would be during the ~10 day post-Election counting.

🚨 BREAKING: Project CIVICA is proud to team up with @Citizens4NJEI to file a joint amicus brief in SCOTUS case Watson v. RNC (No. 24-1260), urging the Court to uphold Election Day as the bedrock of our republic. Extended ballot deadlines aren't just inconvenient- they breed chaos, delays, and deep erosion of voter trust. Recent examples prove it: In NY's 2020 22nd District race, results dragged on until Feb 2021 due to late ballots, leaving voters unrepresented for months. NJ's 2021 gubernatorial election sparked fraud rumors amid massive mail-in delays. A 2024 study confirms: Delays alone spike distrust! We can't let prolonged counts undermine confidence in our elections. We support Election Day! #ElectionDay #VoterTrust #SCOTUS Full brief: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…

Raises serious questions: Why hasn't this judge been removed from the bench for repeated violations of law and judicial code of conduct.

The U.S. Postal Service officially proposed plans to carry out President Trump's executive order asking it to help police voting in elections, saying it will refuse to deliver ballots from states that don't comply with the new standards. trib.al/Yp4a46t

Arizona shares driver license info, and other PII of voter lists with ERIC, a private organization with a history of partisan political activity, but the @AZSecretary is fighting law enforcement review of whether he is following federal law on voter-roll maintenance.
UPDATE: A federal judge today cleared the way for President Trump’s March executive order surrounding mail-in voting. As long as I am Arizona’s Secretary of State, I will not stop fighting to protect your private personal information and your right to vote. This fight is far from over.

DOJ files for Supreme Court review of NVRA ('Motor Voter') to challenge why courts have allowed noncitizens -- who are ineligible to register to vote in the first place -- to stay on voter rolls 90 days before an election. @epecteam zerohedge.com/political/doj-…

Specifically in VA since you mention it … we, @EpecTeam, have been documenting and trying to educate the public on the process’ that are being used (and abused) wrt our elections. At the end of the day, an educated voting public is the ultimate remedy to these issues. A toxic mixture of bad law, bad policy, bad procedures and bad documentation exists in VA. That is compounded by political pressures and grandstanding. There are a number of local election officials that are trying to do everything by the book, and do it right. The problem in their case is that the book is incoherent gibberish. But that’s what they have to work with. We want to give credit where it is due, and there are a number of local officials that are trying their best, and working hard. (Many of these officials have been happy for help and will work with groups like ours as well as concerned citizens, within the rules that statewide politicians allow.) There are also local officials at the other extreme who flout the rules for political reasons, or operate due to simple apathy or not understanding the law and their responsibility to the rules, as imperfect as those rules may be. The end result is a complete hodge-podge state-wide election administration, making our elections “functionally dysfunctional”. Unfortunately this situation is not unique to VA.
