On Saturday, Just the News posted an article about the Department of Justice’s effort to clean up America’s voter rolls in time for the mid-term election.

The article reports:

The Trump Justice Department has launched a nationwide effort to clean up voter rolls ahead of the 2026 elections, pushing states to purge duplicate and outdated registrations and catch any non-citizens or illegal aliens who slipped into a position to vote, officials told Just the News on Saturday.

Notifications have gone out to several states and localities that DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has been concerned that states aren’t complying with federal laws, including California, Wisconsin, Utah and New Hampshire. 

“Unlike the previous administration, at President Trump’s DOJ, we will fight to have fair and secure elections – and that begins with making our voter rolls accurate,” Attorney General Pam Bondi told Just the News.

There have been situations in North Carolina (and I am sure elsewhere) where three hundred people have been registered to vote using the address of a shack in the middle of a parking lot. In this age of computers, where the government knows exactly where you are because you carry a cell phone, there is no excuse for that.

The article notes:

“I can’t comment on the specifics of any ongoing investigations, but I am committed to making it harder to cheat and easier to vote,” Dhillon (Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon) told Just the News on Saturday. “Clean voter rolls will help achieve that goal.”

Just the News reported in June that Dhillon was moving to punish Wisconsin for allegedly failing to comply with federal voting integrity laws, taking the first step to withhold future federal funds for administering elections.

She notified the Wisconsin Election Commission that it was not in compliance with the Helping Americans Vote Act (HAVA), specifically for failing to set up a system to field and resolve voter complaints about election integrity.

“Quite surprisingly, we have learned that the Wisconsin Elections Commission has refused to provide any administrative complaint process or hearing regarding HAVA complaints against the Commission,” Dhillon wrote. “Rather, Wisconsin has decided to rely on a 2022 state court case opining that the Commission cannot police itself..

Every illegal vote cancels out the vote of a legal voter.
