DOJ asks SCOTUS to weigh in on 20,000 potentially fraudulent, non-citizen ballots

“In this case, this Office has been informed that the United States has identified more than 20,000 individuals who appear to be registered to vote in California based on publicly available information at the time that information was received, but who, in the United States’ view, are likely not U.S. citizens,” said Solicitor General D. John Sauer in his Supreme Court application.

Sauer stated that he believes the highest court should weigh in as “the United States is likely to succeed on the merits of its appeal.” He went on to say in the application that “The district court concluded that the United States lacks Article III standing to bring this suit, but the United States suffers a judicially cognizable ‘injury to its sovereignty’ from the ‘violation of its laws.’”

“Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones,” Sauer said, “there is no way to get the challenged ballots back.”

November 3 is election day across the US for midterm elections, and questions have been raised about election and voting integrity in many jurisdictions. There is no deadline for the Supreme Court to weigh in.
