Jury-Exemption Lists May Be Key to Exposing Dirty Voter Rolls

'Do not assume you have my consent. You do not...'

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) With the U.S. House having resolved to advance the SAVE America Act through must-pass appropriations like the National Defense Authorization Act, supporters see its best shot yet of being taken up in earnest by the U.S. Senate.

But cynics worry that RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota might still have some procedural tricks up his sleeve to try to slow-walk it until after the November midterm election, when Democrat majorities in Congress would render its election-integrity reforms moot.

Supporters such as Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, demanded that Thune take up the legislation prior to gaveling out the upper chamber for a weekslong “summer recess” that would likely not return to session until September.

“I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote,” Lee said. “Do not assume you have my consent. You do not.”

Even if the act were to garner the necessary support of at least 50 Senate Republicans and somehow overrule the objections of the Senate parliamentarian, naysayers have questioned whether the measure to require voter ID, limit mail-in voting and establish a nationwide voter database could be implemented with just over three months until the election.

Nonetheless, the Trump administration is looking to close the loopholes in every way possible, including deploying the Justice Department to demand access to state voter rolls and using the U.S. Postal Service as leverage for states planning to issue mass mail-in ballots.

One voting-rights activist who has been at the forefront of advocating for election reform, Scott Presler, also called on states to pass legislation that would make public the list of jurors disqualified due to noncitizen status, thus acting as a workaround against efforts to conceal noncitizen voting.

Because the lists are drawn from the same source as voter rolls, typically through the state Department of Motor Vehicles, the appearance of names on the jury ineligibility list would be a red-flag for potential voting abuse, Presler noted.

Presler backed it up by presenting a 65-page-long list of noncitizens summoned for jury duty in Chester County, Pa.

The idea of cross-referencing jury lists has been floated in the past.

According to a Snopes.com “fact check,” claims about nearly half a million registered California voters being outed as noncitizens emerged following the 2018 midterm elections.

Snopes was unable to categorically disprove the claims, which it said circulated via Facebook, but it declared the claims to be “unproven” since the Facebook users it contacted for proof told the so-called fact-checkers to do their own damn research.

“When asked to provide documentation or some sort of citation for this information, supporters fell back on common right-wing canards,” Snopes claimed.

A recent bombshell report from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed that in just four states examined by DHS — California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Nevada — it had identified a quarter-million noncitizens registered to vote.
