I dunno you guys, I'm starting to think Democrats have some sort of ulterior motive when it comes to illegal immigrants:
The U.S. Department of Justice said Friday it is suing Alabama for trying to remove noncitizens from voting lists, arguing the effort comes too close to the presidential election in November.
According to the Washington Times, the DOJ asked a federal judge to order Alabama to put the names of the presumed ineligible voters back on the active voter lists, in part because it claims that some actual citizens were told that they had been moved to an inactive voter file.
If you have a few people who have been incorrectly moved to an "inactive voter file," I would think it'd be easy enough to, you know, just type a few keys and move them back.
That way you could keep illegal voters off the rolls while still ensuring that everyone who is eligible to vote, gets to vote.
Pretty simple!
The state seems to think so, anyway:
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said that his office, using data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, has identified 3,251 people who are potential noncitizen voters.
He said it's 'possible' that some people deemed as noncitizens by Homeland Security later became citizens, and he is in the process of helping them verify their status.
The federal government, meanwhile, is claiming that Alabama might be outside the window in which it can make such changes before an election:
The DOJ's argument also boils down to timing, since Alabama announced its intentions 84 days before the election, which might violate the federal National Voter Registration Act that prohibits the deletion of names from election lists within 90 days of an election.
That may be true, in which case Alabama might have done things a little sooner. Of course, the idea that you can't clear election rolls three months before an election is pretty ludicrous.
All the more so since voter integrity is more important than it's ever been:
Looking forward to yet another Super-Duper Secure™ Election this year!
