On May 28th, Townhall<\/a> posted an article stating that the Department of Justice is suing North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced a lawsuit against the State of North Carolina and the North Carolina State Board of Elections for its inaccurate voter rolls\u2014a violation of the Help America Vote Act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges the state did not require a proper form of identification\u2014a driver\u2019s license or the last four digits of a Social Security number\u2014in its voter registration form, a clear violation of HAVA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because proper identification rules were not followed in the 2024 election, a number of votes were accepted that were questionable at best.<\/p>\n

In April, Breitbart<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

A North Carolina appeals court has ruled that more than 60,000 voters who voted in the state\u2019s Supreme Court election in November 2024 must verify that they are eligible to vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ruling from the appeals court ordering \u201cmore than 65,000 voters\u201d to prove their eligibility comes after Judge Jefferson Griffin, who ran against North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs in November, challenged the results of the election, according to<\/a> NBC News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Per the outlet, voters \u201cnow have 15 business days to provide state elections officials with the necessary proof of identity that would verify their votes,\u201d and voters who do not respond \u201cwill not have their votes counted in the race.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

That decision was overruled by another court and Allison Riggs was declared the winner of the election. I suspect the lawsuit by the Department of Justice might have something to do with preventing that from happening in the future.<\/p>\n

The article at Townhall concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cAccurate voter registration rolls are critical to ensure that elections in North Carolina are conducted fairly, accurately, and without fraud,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. \u201cThe Department of Justice will not hesitate to file suit against jurisdictions that maintain inaccurate voter registration rolls in violation of federal voting laws.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every legal vote needs to be counted. Every illegal voter needs to be prevented from voting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
