Sent to every Washington state Republican serving in Olympia.
Honorable Republican
Had a Republican representative try to tell me, not long ago, that Steve Hobbs, Democrat, had assured him that the SOS was doing all it could do keep Washington’s voter rolls clean and legal. Everything, that is, except requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, a situation that has only gotten worse because of Motor Voter.
In Washington state, voter rolls bloat just before mailing of ballots and shrink right after the election. Illegal alien ballots are harvested, voted, and put in drop boxes. Ballots are being mailed to nonexistent residents; those ballots collected, voted, and put in drop boxes. And because the requirement to check signatures is lax to nonexistent, not enforced, those votes are counted.
How do I know that signatures aren’t checked? I signed my ballot with my left hand. It was not rejected. Quite obviously, the signature was not checked. If mine wasn’t checked, neither were any of the others.
In 2012, Washington state was one of the original states founding ERIC – run by Democrats, and supposedly for the purposes of cleaning voter rolls. While ERIC has done a great job of registering Democrats to vote, even if they aren’t citizens, it hasn’t done much to clean Washington’s voter rolls.
For over three years, now, I’ve been sending state Republicans articles about voter rolls. In that three years, Republicans have done not one thing to deal with the dirty voter rolls.
The November election is the Republicans to lose. It seems, Republicans like losing! Crooked Bob Ferguson, as our next governor, will ensure a mass exodus of conservatives from the state, ensuring more Republicans lose their seats in Olympia.
Sincerely,
Lynn Finney
The 1993 NVRA law (National Voter Registration Act) bars election officials from removing any voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election (see page 8 below). This is often referred to as the “90 Day Freeze”.
The Democrat-run DOJ Civil Rights Division (CRD) has used this part of the law relentlessly to defend dirty voter rolls and thwart any cleanup prior to elections.
Democrats support this law, knowing it allows fraudulent registrations to stay on the voter rolls.
According to the NVRA, conservatives and Republicans have until Wednesday, August 7, 2024 for election departments to clean their voter rolls using bulk processes or methods.
It’s hard to believe jurisdictions can’t remove illegal voters using bulk methods inside this 90-day freeze and up until the November 6 election. They can’t match their voter roll database against Driver’s License records, against the USPS NCOA (National Change Of Address), against the Social Security Death Index, and more.
The Heritage Foundation explained back in 2014 the law is meant to freeze “regular maintenance activities” inside 90 days. This means no “general maintenance” or similar “programs” can be conducted to “systematically” remove ineligible voters. But officials can strike registrants from individualized information. For instance, a notice that someone has died, a voter requesting cancellation, or correcting a mistake, etc.
When this 1993 NVRA law was passed, voter registration was done entirely with paper forms completed by the applicant, often mailed to the jurisdiction. If info was missing or inaccurate, a letter was sent to the applicant. If no response, the registration was sidelined. This paper registration process was critical to the integrity of our elections. The Democrats knew this, and changed how we register voters in the country.
Arizona was first in 2002 to allow online VoteReg. Most States adopted it after 2010, which exactly coincides with efforts by leftist David Becker and the Pew Charitable Trust to adopt changes in the system. Their two-part “Voter Modernization Project” was pitched to all States in 2010-2012. It required they join the non-profit ERIC and most importantly, implement online VoteReg. This online access allows activist groups from anywhere to bulk submit registrations.
Some states and counties care less about the 90-day freeze and remove no one. They know the DOJ CRD will have their back if sued.
In 2022 the Texas Election Network, founded by Melissa Conway, filed affidavits challenging 6,000 registrations in Harris County, TX (Houston). Another 49 challenges came after Aug. 10t 2022 deadline for the freeze. Harris County didn’t remove a single one from their rolls.
Mike Hassinger, a spokesman for Brad Raffensperger, said federal law bars purges of voter registrations within 90 days. Those not eligible can only be removed on a case-by-case basis. This thinking allows corrupt election activists to flood our voter rolls up to election day, with no repercussions.
The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is made up of 11 different sections that include Housing, Disability, and the Voting Rights Section. It is staffed entirely of people working on behalf of the DNC and left-wing activist groups. It’s rotten to the core, just watch this stunning interview with Maureen Riorden, the last Republican employee in the Voting Rights section, now retired.
Years ago, the DOJ CRD did not want the removal of 180,000 noncitizens from the FL voter rolls, so they sued Florida in 2012. Florida fought this case and won. But it was appealed by the DOJ. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, with a 3-judge panel, overturned that ruling in 2014. Two of these judges decided it was illegal to clean voter rolls within 90 days.
In 2014, Florida argued the “90 Day Provision” would not bar a state from investigating potential non-citizens and removing them on the basis of individualized information, even within the 90-day window.”
Florida won the case. But it was appealed by the DOJ. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, with a 3-judge panel, overturned that ruling in 2014. Two of these judges decided it was illegal to clean voter rolls within 90 days. True the Vote and Judicial Watch tried to join the case back in 2012, while the RNC did nothing.
Common sense would dictate we bulk clean our voter rolls as long as voter registration is open.
But that is not the case.
Republicans need to act now. We have less than two months to report the fraudulent registrations and demand their removal.
