DOJ wants to help anti-voting group purge California rolls

2026-07-16 02:42 UTC

The Department of Justice wants to intervene in a lawsuit to force a massive voter roll purge in California. Tom Fitton, the president of the far-right legal group Judicial Watch, boasted on social media Wednesday that the DOJ seeks to “clean nearly 1 million dirty voter names from California’s voter rolls” after the department filed its motion to intervene as a plaintiff Monday. Judicial Watch has led the charge in seeking to purge voter rolls in Oregon, Colorado, Kentucky and New York. The motion comes nearly two months after Judicial Watch filed its initial complaint, arguing the state has not made a “reasonable effort” to purge the names of voters who have moved out of state, in accordance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

I have to agree California rolls kinda suck. Spicy tuna is king of you want a cheap simple roll. Otherwise, I recommend the Maki Maki roll. Yeah the sauce is a bit heavy, but it’s delicious and just one roll can fill you up. But also this article about people who fucking suck doing shitty things. I can only hope every one of these pricks goes to jail in the end, though I’ll bet fewer than 5% of those who deserve it will face justice.

In-depth investigations by committees from both parties have repeatedly failed to turn up any evidence of voter fraud. These fuckwits are only taking advantage of the current political state to advance their conspiracy theories and further sow doubt in the minds of their voting base.

Isn’t it weird how the party that claims it is so popular and so representative of “common sense”, etc…has to engage in so much ratfucking?
