Justice Dept. Demands Millions of North Carolina Voter Records, Confounding Elections Officials
nytimes ^ | 9/5/2018 | Richard Fausset and Michael Wines

Federal prosecutors have issued sweeping subpoenas demanding that millions of North Carolina voter records be turned over to immigration authorities by Sept. 25.

With just two months to go before the midterms, the subpoenas threatened to sow chaos in the state’s election machinery, while renewing the Trump administration’s repeatedly discredited claims of widespread voting by illegal immigrants.

The unsealed grand jury subpoenas were sent to the state elections board and to 44 county elections boards in eastern North Carolina. Their existence became widely known after Marc E. Elias, a voting rights lawyer aligned with the Democratic Party, mentioned them on Twitter.

Though the nature, scope and impetus of the federal investigation that generated the subpoenas remain shrouded in mystery, the move appeared to be part of an effort to find and crack down on any unauthorized voting by noncitizens.

“the move appeared to be part of an effort to find and crack down on any unauthorized voting by noncitizens.”

Shouldn’t be a problem, since noncitizens voting would be Voter Fraud, and were YELLED AT that there is no voter fraud.

And so why all this concern, when nothing will be found, or so we’re told...

It’s funny that libs claim illegal voting isn’t a problem, but complain when people want to ensure the integrity of the elections. If it’s not a problem, why complain?

. . . renewing the Trump administration’s repeatedly discredited claims of widespread voting by illegal immigrants.

We don't need to look because there is no evidence that meets legal standards, and there is no evidence that meets legal standards because the democrats block us from looking. I wonder if they read "Catch 22" for inspiration on these strategies.

This is Free Republican “hugh and series!”

Granbd Juries do not issue indictments unless there is evidence afoot to prove the crime.

A lot of Dem campaign workers are going to do time for “ VOTAH FWAHD ! ( sounds like a name from Star Wars.)

Imagine deporting the fraudulent voters by the thousands for felonious conduct. This is more than entertaining , its a WIN for the genuine voters of America.

Why just North Carolina?

Alinsky talked about picking a target and isolating it.

It makes sense to pick a 2016 red state to (hopefully) avoid the appearance of political bias or charges of retribution.

It's going to take a long time to drain this fetid backwater of the swamp, so in the meantime, this action could (hopefully) throw a cloud of fear over those seeking to commit fraud in the midterm election.

There needs to be legislative action and support from the Supreme Court in this regard. That will be more likely once Kavanaugh is confirmed.

"It makes sense to pick a 2016 red state to (hopefully) avoid the appearance of political bias or charges of retribution."

Over the past century voter districts have been scrutinized by the feds for gerrymandering, to rectify racism. Let's just call this a review of the efforts made to "true the vote". When the dimocrats do something it's honorable but when a republican administration does it, it's a nefarious effort to disenfranchise voters.

Grand Jury subpoenas. Now that is interesting.

If you want voter or election fraud, go straight to Chicago, and set up an office. It will take decades to sort out all the subpoenas and indictments that will be forthcoming. Then set up a satellite office in Springfield, IL. You will need it.

After that, if we still have an election system at all, set up another operation in California. There is a gold mine of illegal vote and election fraud there to discover!
