M.D. Kittle writes for the Federalist about a new election integrity measure from the federal government.
With a little more than two months to go before November’s midterm elections, the Department of Homeland Security has opened an intensive election fraud investigation in at least nine states, according to internal Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) guidance obtained by CNN.
A DHS spokesperson said HSI cannot comment on active investigations. The official did say that the investigations unit, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “is actively rooting out and investigating election fraud wherever it can be found.”
“HSI is committed to restoring integrity to our election systems and ensuring that American citizens and only American citizens are electing American leaders,” the spokesperson said Tuesday in an email responding to The Federalist’s request for comment.
Restoring election integrity has been a tall order amid sagging voter confidence in the system, dirty voter rolls in states across the country, and the refusal by Democrat-led states to release their voter rolls for auditing by federal officials. The “coordinated voter fraud surge initiative” comes as concern rises over noncitizens showing up in voter registration databases — and casting ballots in federal elections.
On Tuesday, HSI launched a coordinated criminal voter fraud “surge” aimed at pursuing investigative leads, conducting field interviews, and supporting timely prosecutorial review, the guidance states, according to CNN. Investigators will conduct the surge through mid-October in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The left-leaning St. Louis Post Dispatch posted a seething edtorial in June blasting Missouri’s Secretary of State for following federal law and releasing the Show Me State’s voters rolls to the DOJ. As cases of election/voter fraud continue to rise, the leftist Dispatch clung to the false assertion that there is “of course, zero evidence or even indication that illegal noncitizens voting virtually ever happens.”
Oh, it happens. Much more frequently than the lying corporate media like to admit.
