Former DOJ attorney Gene Hamilton says the Biden-Harris DOJ's new guidelines on voter list maintenance are intended to intimidate state and local election officials.
The Department of Justice quietly published new guidelines addressing limits on when and how jurisdictions may remove voters from their voter rolls last week, a move to 'intimidate' state and local election officials, says former DOJ attorney Gene Hamilton.
What they're trying to do is they're trying to chill people from actually doing the very things that are common sense and that makes sense,' Hamilton said. The updated guidelines also prohibit removals from voter lists within 90 days of a federal election. These rules apply to both state-initiated and third-party-driven processes.
And on Tuesday, nearly 100,000 Arizona voters' citizenship status was in question due to a state error just before mail ballots were scheduled to be sent out. Also on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he will advance a chamber-wide vote to avert a government shutdown with a bill to address noncitizen voting.
