If they do not follow this policy and actually convict these sorry assholes and provide them with significant prison time....it will be for naught.

The chief election officer in most states is the Secretary of State. I think since the midterms are national elections (even though each state has its own voting), prosecutions can be brought in D.C. where Jeanine Pirro is U.S. Attorney.

a. Doubtful DC would have jurisdiction

b. Why would you want these cases in DC?

And then some piece of shite activist judge will file an injunction and nothing will happen and it will already be too late if something does happen.

It’s all just smoke and mirrors.

In what way was my comment "derailing" anything? Did I not substantively respond to his post?

Cases where the feds are suing a state are handled in the federal district court of the federal district the state is in, not DC.

It's about time.

For those needing an actual story link: NBC

Essentially, the DOJ sent letters to election officials in all 50 states and D.C. warning that they could face criminal prosecution (including for aiding and abetting) if they knowingly allow noncitizens to remain on voter rolls or vote in federal elections.

Big difference between "could be subject to criminal liability" and "WILL be subject to criminal liability". This is all just another big nothing burger.

In Louisiana, all they have to do is check a box that they are a citizen.

We passed a law 2 years ago that people need to provide proof that they are a citizen.

It's still not being enforced.

This is all theatre.

They need to convict people for already having done that or it will make no difference for mid-terms.

Change “could be” to “will be” and it would get attention.

Otherwise, this is nothing but smoke blowing.

Interesting perspective. Do you think your own posts contribute to the issue you're describing? It's easy to blame the board, but what objective analysis or constructive input have you actually contributed?
