Investigators are illegally accessing state voter rolls—and likely flagging U.S. citizens as “unlawful voters” in a rushed attempt to meet their quotas, a whistleblower warns.
The main thing they seem to be doing that’s officially illegal is that they are taking their own databases of dubious quality, and then manually inputting that information into state voter registration verification sites. These sites by and large make the user legally certify they either are the voter or have their express authorization (e.g. “Hey, bud, will check my voter registration for me?”). They’re basically asking the entire staff to engage in a bit of light identity theft 40 times a day.
