It’s no secret that voter confidence in the integrity of our elections has been eroding for some time. A Gallup survey conducted just before the last presidential election found that only 57 percent of Americans believed that the votes for president would be accurately counted. The legacy news media routinely blame this phenomenon on “election deniers,” yet studiously ignore the large number of states that flout federal election laws requiring officials to maintain clean voter registration rolls and make them available for public inspection.
In short, the liberal establishment in this country has actively created an election integrity crisis by refusing to comply with federal law and then calling conservatives conspiracy theorists for noticing.
This problem has become so rampant that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has been forced to file lawsuits against 14 Democrat-dominated states pursuant to persistent violations of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). NVRA requires states to maintain accurate voter rolls by conducting regular list maintenance to remove ineligible voters. HAVA builds on that framework by mandating statewide voter registration databases and verification procedures to help election officials identify and correct outdated, duplicate, or invalid registrations.
On Friday, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon announced in a video posted on X that her office is suing states that have knowingly failed to comply with those laws. “Now, we have 15 lawsuits pending against 14 states,” Dhillon wrote. “That’s right—California got sued twice—and we are in litigation with them. They’re refusing to provide their records.”
