.@PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams couldn’t believe what he was reading as he poured over the text of #HR1, the “For the People Act” -- the first piece of proposed legislation introduced by congressional Democrats in the 117th Congress.
.@PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams
“We have been collecting over the years non-citizen maintenance data [for state #VoterRegistration rolls], and here’s how it works.”
.@PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams
“People apply to register to vote who are non-citizens and sometimes they announce they are non-citizens on the registration forms. It says ‘are you a U.S. citizen,’ and they mark the box no.”
.@PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams
“And they get registered to vote anyhow and it’s not until years later that it’s discovered and meanwhile they have been voting in American elections.”
.@PILFoundation's Adams said he was stunned [by] Section 1015(D)(2) of HR1, which makes it illegal for any government official to make a record of or to disclose publicly “an individual’s decision not to affirm his or her citizenship.”
.@PILFoundation currently has litigation in court in #Maine, #Pennsylvania, #Illinois, and #Maryland seeking public records on individuals who were registered to vote despite indicating they were not at the time U.S. citizens.
“[.@PILFoundation] is the only in the country doing this, so I know it’s directed at us,” Adams .@ElectionLawCtr said. He pointed to the PILF report “Steeling the Vote” as an example of the fruits of his group’s litigation on the issue.
.@PILFoundation .@ElectionLawCtr
1993 Motor Voter Registration Act [requires] release of #VoterList maintenance records that indicate how individuals indicating non-citizenship were handled by voter registration officials.
If #HR1 becomes law with Section 1501...neither Adams nor any other American citizen will be able to obtain non-citizen voter registration records. Millions of non-citizens could vote in future elections without risk of being exposed.
The legal challenge was filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation .@PILFoundation, who called the decision a big win for the rule of law (via .@DailyCaller):
The @vaELECT rule allowing officials to count ballots that arrived without a postmark up to three days after the election was illegal, a state judge ruled.
.@townhallcom #Virginia Circuit Court Judge William Eldridge ruled the state’s late #MailBallot law violated state statute and permanently banned the law in future Virginia elections, the .@PILFoundation (PILF) announced.
RIGGED ELECTION: TX 'Ballot Chaser' Illegally Pressures Voters To Change... via @YouTube
#Texas
“Many continue to claim that there’s no such thing as #ElectionFraud. We’ve always known that such a claim is false and misleading, and today we have additional hard evidence." .@KenPaxtonTX
'Ballot Chaser' Illegally Pressures Voters To Change...
This is a victory for #ElectionIntegrity and a strong signal that anyone who attempts to defraud the people of Texas, deprive them of their vote, or undermine the integrity of elections will be brought to justice. .@KenPaxtonTX
.@PILFoundation applauds the .@USSupremeCourt
for taking an important case involving #California’s donor disclosure laws. The Foundation previously filed an amicus curiae brief in support of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s .@AFPhq petition.
Full statement from @ElectionLawCtr / PILF regarding the rioting at the U.S. Capitol
“All violence and trespassing at the U.S. Capitol must cease and law enforcement authority should use all appropriate means to quell the lawlessness. .@PILFoundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams .@ElectionLawCtr
"Rioters demanding ‘#Electionntegrity’ have in some cases been misled by individuals who know very little about election administration.".@PILFoundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams .@ElectionLawCtr
[#ElectionManipulation] has always been high on the list of Democratic party priorities. That is why you saw HR1, which would make everything you saw in this election legal.
“Centralized elections with official oversight are the gold standard. SPLC should stick to smearing people and stay out of election administration litigation.”
.@splcenter’s leaders did not launch this effort out of the goodness of their hearts. @HelloCTCL efforts helped create an urban turnout machine that may have made the crucial difference in the swing states.
