The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly published new guidelines addressing limits on when and how jurisdictions may remove voters from their voter rolls last week, a move to “intimidate” state and local election officials, says former DOJ attorney Gene Hamilton.
“This is what I perceive as an attempt by the Department of Justice and Civil Rights Division to intimidate state and local jurisdictions and state and local election officials from doing their jobs,” Hamilton told Fox News Digital.
The DOJ issued a new guidance document on Sept. 9 to remind states ahead of the election that “voting rolls must be accomplished in compliance with federal law and in a nondiscriminatory manner.”
