Five More States Sued for Hiding the Truth [WATCH]

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division has filed lawsuits against five additional states for declining to provide voter roll records requested by the Attorney General under the Civil Rights Act of 1960, according to Harmeet Dhillon.

In a public statement, Dhillon detailed the latest legal actions and ongoing litigation efforts by the division.

“Exciting election law news here at the DOJ Civil Rights Division today, we sued five additional states for their refusal to turn over voter rolls in response to the Attorney General’s request under the Civil Rights Act of 1960 specifically, we sued West Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky and New Jersey,” Dhillon said.

She noted that the latest filings expand the scope of the division’s legal campaign.

“This brings to almost 30 states that we are suing, in addition to the District of Columbia, and we will not rest until we have resolved this litigation throughout the United States,” Dhillon stated.

The lawsuits are part of a broader effort by the Civil Rights Division to obtain voter roll data from states under federal law. Dhillon also acknowledged that the division has faced setbacks in several courts and is pursuing appeals.

“Now, speaking of which, we have had a couple of adverse rulings in different courts, so we disagree with them,” she said.

Dhillon described a range of legal arguments raised in the cases.

“There’s been a hodgepodge of issues that plaintiffs lawyers have thrown up against the wall,” she said.

She confirmed that appeals have been filed in multiple federal circuits.

“So we have filed our notices of appeal promptly in the Ninth Circuit in the cases in Oregon and California,” Dhillon said.

“And we have also filed a challenge and appeal in the Sixth Circuit against a recent Michigan ruling, and so we’re going to take those up on appeal with the help of our colleagues in the Solicitor General’s office, and we will report to you what happens with the resolution there.”

Dhillon also referenced a separate matter currently before the U.S. Supreme Court.

“And now, finally, I’m really proud of an amicus brief that we co authored with the Solicitor General’s office in a case before the Supreme Court that is Watson versus Republican National Committee in which we the United States argue that state statutes that allow ballots to continue to trickle in and be counted well after the election day are preempted by the federal law regarding a Election Day.”

She added that the department is seeking greater clarity regarding election procedures.

“And it would be great to have certainty around our elections like just about every other civilized country and even some less civilized countries have,” Dhillon said.

According to Dhillon, the Civil Rights Division continues to focus on election-related enforcement efforts.

“And so every day, we are thinking of ways here at the Civil Rights Division to improve voter confidence in the outcome of our elections and ensure that only American citizens vote in federal elections and only one time, and that we get those results promptly and that we can count on them,” she said.

“Thank you and stay tuned.”
