President Trump on Saturday reacted to the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision to block the Justice Department’s last-minute bid to force California to remove 20,000 ballots mailed to non-citizens.
The Justice Department recently sued California and Los Angeles County over 20,000 suspected non-citizens registered to vote who have already been mailed ballots.
First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said that voter rolls were compared to USCIS immigration, Social Security and passport records.
After a battle in the District Court with a Clinton-appointed judge, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday night rejected the DOJ’s bid to force California to segregate the ballots in question.
On Friday, in a 2-1 vote, a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Justice Department’s request to block 20,000 ballots from being counted.
The three judges included: Majority: Mark Bennett (Trump) Gabriel Sanchez (Biden) – Dissent: Patrick Bumatay (Trump).
“Major concerns remain that granting the United States’s requested relief might result in immense hardship to Defendants and harm the public interest by risking the disenfranchisement of eligible voters and putting the entire tabulation process in jeopardy,” the majority wrote.
The Trump DOJ is preparing to take the case to the Supreme Court.
Trump’s full statement:
So, in Los Angeles, our Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California (and various other titles which were forced upon us by the ridiculous Blue Slip SCAM where nobody can get confirmed without the Dumocrats’ approval — which is IMPOSSIBLE to get in that they are all Trump Deranged Lunatics!), Bill Essayli, has done a fantastic job.
He is one of the best, EVER! He caught a massive number of Illegal Votes, 20,000, but potentially Hundreds of Thousands, and maybe even Millions, and the Court has just ruled against it. Why would they reject fixing Election Fraud?
That’s like, in the 2020 Rigged and Stolen Election, when we had a great case, but the Supreme Court would not hear it because they said I, the President of the United States of America, had NO STANDING to bring such a case.
Think of it, the President, on a Federal Election, has NO STANDING over himself, and so it goes. We are going to continue our yearslong fight on Election Integrity. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
