Don?t underestimate the fury that followed this one billboard in Wisconsin. Then the sponsor of the sign relented and took it down. There ARE signs inside the polls about voter fraud, but of course nobody reads them. i have no legal objection with it of course, I am just trying to describe how similar efforts in the past poked a hornet?s nest. And then really, the signs should be in Spanish to be effective, but that will really make them go nuts. (They could have both languages I suppose). The other thing is it makes no sense to place the signs in Highland County, but rather in Annandale. When that very practical decision is made, it will anger the hornets further. i can walk anyone interested through the doubtfully applicable Section 11b intimidation provisions of the voting rights act. There are some other federai laws the leftists will claim are implicated (18 USC 242, et seq) but they are on weak ground.

Could signs be made and placed at as many polling places in VA, listing the laws people may break if they do voter We just need to print and distribute signs, and make it a digital ad tool!

Alien-Invasion-in-Virginiapdf When an alien completes a voter registration form, they commit a felony. This report must begin with the relevant law. It is only with that in mind that the reader can comprehend the gravity of the problem Virginia and other states are facing when it comes to non-citizen participation in our elections. When non-citizens register or actually vote, they violate both state and federal statutes because citizenship is a requirement to vote in both state and federal elections. The offenses a fraudulent voter might commit when he registers and votes are numerous: . Virginia Code 24.2-1004: Criminalizes casting an illegal ballot. . Title 18, United States Code 611: Criminalizes voting by illegal aliens in federal elections. . Title 18, United States Code 911: Criminalizes representing oneself to be a citizen of the United States. 0 Title 18, United States Code 1015: Criminalizes false statements in order to register to vote or to vote in any Federal, State, or local election. . Title 52, United States Code 20511: Criminalizes the fraudulent submission of voter registration applications and the fraudulent casting of ballots. The United State Attorney General and the law enforcement of?cers in the Commonwealth of Virginia are, respectively, authorized to prosecute violations of all of these statutes. Given that the integrity of an election is where the consent of the governed is obtained, you would think that federal and state elections of?cials would treat these crimes with appropriate seriousness. As will be discussed later in this report, that is, however, not the case PILF has ?led four separate lawsuits in 2016 alone to force election of?cials to allow inspection of their election records. In Virginia, election officials have opposed transparency and many Virginia counties are not in compliance with federal law regarding our requests and may yet be sued in federal court to obtain requested records. Obstruction Begins in Alexandria The effort to obscure the number of non-citizens who are registering and voting in Virginia began in the City of Alexandria. In January 2016, the election integrity group Virginia Voter?s Alliance (VVA) contacted Alexandria General Registrar Anna Leider, notifying her that based on implausible registration data, her of?ce appeared to be in violation of the mandate that she use reasonable efforts to remove ineligible registrants. The letter additionally requested access to ten categories of records concerning Ms. Leider?s list maintenance programs pursuant to the public inspection provision. In April 2016, PILF, on behalf of VVA and David Norcross, a private Alexandria citizen, sued Ms. Leider under the private right of action, alleging that her of?ce violated the NVRA by refusing to provide inspection of election records and for failing to conduct reasonable list maintenance practices.? After a court hearing where Alexandria said it would make the requested records available, WA then proceeded to visit Ms. Leider?s of?ce to inspect the city?s records. CONFIDENTIAL SA-001-000545 Case Document 166-3 Filed 05/23/19 Page 4 of 4 PagelD# 5993 Among the records uncovered at Ms. Leider?s of?ce was a list of registrants who had been purged from the voter rolls because they were determined to not be U.S. citizens. The list includes hundreds of non- citizen registrants, all of whom had likely committed felonies by registering to vote. When VVA asked to photocopy the list, Ms. Leider refused, contradicting her statements made to the court. Her refusal, however, was directed by state election of?cials. Ms. Leider?s attorney later stated that she cannot provide the list because of ?guidance? from the Virginia Department of Elections. The excuse was that the reason for a registrant?s cancellation?including by reason of non-citizen status?is con?dential, and such information can neither be inspected nor duplicated. A week later, and over eight months after the initial request was made, Ms. Leider ?nally capitulated. Her attorney provided VVA with a list, identifying 70 registrants who had been removed from Alexandria?s registration lists after they were determined to not be U.S. citizens. These were just the aliens who were caught Records showing the removal of ineligible non-citizen registrants are quintessentially records ?concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of of?cial lists of eligible voters,?14 records that must be made available for public inspection under the NVRA. Yet it took months of negotiations and a federal lawsuit to bring these records to the public?s attention. What can be done? There are several changes that states and the federal government can and should make to prevent non-citizens from registering and voting illegally in state and federal elections: . The registration process must be changed. The check-box honor system is a failure and is facilitating voter fraud. All states should require anyone who registers to vote to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. In the alternative, states should fully utilize the federal SAVE database which contains the names of aliens who have had contact with the immigration system. . Congress and state legislatures should require all federal and state courts to notify local election officials when individuals summoned for jury duty from voter registration rolls are excused because they are not United States citizens. . State legislatures or state elections of?cials should enact requirements that force local election of?cials to conduct a systematic review of the voter history of all registrants who were purged from the rolls due to not meeting the requirements of U.S. citizenship. . The database, known as E-Verify, that is being used by U.S. employers to check the citizenship status of prospective employees should be made available to election of?cials and administrators of statewide registration databases so that election of?cials can easily identify registered voters who are not U.S. citizens. 0 Law enforcement at both the federal and state level should exercise their authority to prosecute cases of voter fraud. Voter registration and voting history records such as those contained in this report makes prosecution an easy task. Armed with that information, prosecutors would simply have to verify whether or not the individual was a citizen at the time of registration or voting. CONFIDENTIAL SA-001-000546
