US DOJ Sues California & 11 States for Failing to Provide Voter Registration Rolls

‘Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections’

By Katy Grimes, December 3, 2025 2:45 am

In September the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request: — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

As the Globe said at the time, “That the DOJ is hauling California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania into court for hiding their voter rolls is monumental, and specifically the accountability Americans have been clamoring for.”

Today, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division did it again, but filed federal lawsuits against six additional states — Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington — for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request.

This is getting fun.

As the Globe reported:

In May, Charlie Kirk pulled no punches demanding clean rolls, noting that this is the source of most cheating.

“Mass irregularities in California’s registration and voting numbers continue to erode voter confidence, which is why Ric Grenell and his team at Fix California have launched a statewide legal survey analyzing the current status of voter rolls throughout the state, and they are prepared to start suing counties,” the Globe reportedback in 2021. Fix California has had tremendous successes throughout the state getting counties to clean up their voter rolls over four years, as well as identifying unregistered voters.

In 2024, Special Envoy Ric Grenell, then-Assemblyman Bill Essayli, and Assembly Candidate Carl DeMaio called upon California Secretary of State Shirley Weber to do her job to get county registrars of voters to report their results faster. “We reiterate the urgent need to demand voter roll cleanup, same-day, in-person voting, voter identification, and a transparent counting strategy.”

If a state can’t prove that its voter rolls are accurate, the only conclusion is that they are hiding dead voters, illegal aliens, former residents, and duplicate registrations, allowing and encouraging cheating.

“Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible, and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court.”

“States are required to safeguard American elections by complying with our federal elections laws,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Clean voter rolls protect American citizens from voting fraud and abuse, and restore their confidence that their states’ elections are conducted properly, with integrity, and in compliance with the law.”

According to the lawsuits, the Attorney General is uniquely charged by Congress with the enforcement of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which were designed by Congress to ensure that states have proper and effective voter registration and voter list maintenance programs. The Attorney General also has the Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA) at her disposal to demand the production, inspection, and analysis of the statewide voter registration lists.

We’ve been covering voter “irregularities” for many years. California has been sinking further into voting abyss, thanks to Governor Gavin Newsom, who in May 2020 during his COVID statewide lockdown, issued Executive Order N-64-20 2020 ordering every voter in the November 2020 General Election to Vote-By-Mail. And then he made it permanent in 2021, claiming moral authority: “states across our country continue to enact undemocratic voter suppression laws,” Gov. Newsom said.

Newsom signed Assembly Bill 37 by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park), permanently requiring a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to every active registered voter in the state. AB 37 also gave the state 30 days to prepare a certified statement of the results of the election and submit it to the governing body within 30 days of the election.

It’s time to unravel California’s web of voting deceit. And the pressure is on now, thanks to the Trump DOJ and their filings on the 11 other states.

Remember, “It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”–Joseph Stalin

“If they can steal an election in California, they can steal the Presidential Election,” I wrote back in 2016.

“Election fraud was widespread during the California Primary 2016 election June 7. Thousands upon thousands of California voters showed up at their designated polling stations only to discover that their party registration had been changed, or they were dropped entirely from the rolls. And it was evident this was done from within the state’s electronic voting system. Many predict there will be massive election fraud during the general election, all to benefit Democrat Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.”

There were reports of voting machines automatically defaulting to a vote for Barack Obama… Reports of 120% voter turnout in far too many precincts… Bus loads of strangers showing up at polling stations… And there were precincts showing 100 percent of the vote for one candidate – Obama. “One group from Princeton needed only seven minutes and simple hacking tools to install a computer program on a voting machine that took votes for one candidate and gave them to another,” The Hill reported in November 2014. “More whimsically, two researchers showed they could install Pac-Man onto a touch-screen voting machine, leaving no detectable traces of their presence.”

California has been a huge contributor to election “irregularities” but the gig is up. “The Attorney General also has the Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA) at her disposal to demand the production, inspection, and analysis of the statewide voter registration lists.”

  1. You are correct that this election fraud and deceit is unraveling and will continue to fall apart. I have heard that 90% of the current elected politicians in America and throughout the world (this is just not a California problem) might be sitting in their offices illegally at all levels of government. Can you imagine the upheaval that will be temporarily created by exposure of this fraud that has been perpetrated.

  2. Could this thousandth (or more) effort to break the cheat wide open and reveal all be the charm? Wishing and hoping so with all of my being, and I am glad to see it DOES look promising.
    Katy Grimes has been on this and sticking her neck out against all eye-rolling and opposition to it for as long as I can remember. Even longer ago than her 2016 article cited above, I’m sure. Eight and a half years ago, in July 2017, with the formation of Pres. Trump’s Election Integrity Commission (soon thereafter disbanded), I wrote to its Chairman, Kansas SOS Kris Kobach, and, to provide context and background information on the obvious problem in California, I wanted to send links to articles about it. I found that the only CA reporter who had written anything worth sending —- and possibly (as I recall) the only CA reporter who had covered it AT ALL —- was Katy Grimes.
    Fingers crossed here, and definitely staying tuned….

  3. And Tina Peters continues to sit in prison for exposing Colorado voter fraud while corrupt Sec of State Griswald, who by the way leaked voting machine passwords on the state website, enjoys the Christmas season. Where are you DOJ AG Bondi ? POTUS Trump please help Tina and cut the Governor of the state of CO a new one for his/its lack of action. Tina Peters is a Navy Seal Gold Star Mom. Why do we allow this ?
