DOJs Dhillon Has the Perfect Answer for Anyone | Political News

In a new interview launched on Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney General in the Civil Rights division, Harmeet Dhillon, gave her take on the Justice Department submitting swimsuit this week against Orange County, California, for allegedly failing to uphold U.S. voter legal guidelines. I’ll get to that in a minute.

Of course, the workforce in the DOJ can stroll and chew gum at the identical time. Case in level (no pun meant), as my colleague Katie Jerkovich wrote just over a week back, the division agreed to take up the legal state of affairs of a Washington state coach whose employer (Washington U.) allegedly fired him because he refused to take the COVID shot on non secular grounds.

It comes just someday after the Trump Department of Education and ED Secretary Linda McMahon advised California its faculties aren’t holding up their finish of the cut price on following Title IX, in offering equity in sports activities for women and in ladies’s areas:

In the press release posted on X, the Department of Education introduced that the state, led by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, violated Title IX.

The Department’s Office for Civil Rights has concluded its Title IX investigations into “California’s Department of Education & Interscholastic Federation and found both clearly violated Title IX by failing to protect women & girls from sex-based discrimination,” the post learn.

Dhillon took to her X account earlier on Thursday to remark about the DOJ’s newest announcement — a new investigation of the Golden State, on severe, repeated, allegedly discriminatory hiring/employment practices in the University of California system:

Identity-based hiring will not be only flawed — it’s unlawful!

The @CivilRights is investigating alleged severe violations of equal alternative in employment by the UC system. Public employers ignore our civil rights legal guidelines at their peril.

I wholeheartedly second what my colleague at sister web site Hot Air, Beege Welborn’s,succinct remark, when sharing the Civil Rights division’s paperwork: “I love Harmeet.”

Anyway, in this new sitdown video (below), we get a great reply from her on what conservatives and Republicans can inform those people who wave away the pressing need to clean up vote rolls via the Help America Vote Act/National Voter Registration Act–both of which she mentions to interviewer Charlie Kirk on Real America’s Voice program, “The Charlie Kirk Show” — because fraud is uncommon.

[…W]e have jurisdiction over clean voter rolls, that’s the Help America Vote Act. In this case, Orange County acquired credible data, it is effectively publicized, that there have been people on the voter rolls who aren’t American residents.

Dhillon factors out that there are “many ways that this can happen,” like somebody “checking the wrong box” when they vote, saying that it may be utterly “innocent or intentional.” 

“It could be someone committing fraud, who knows,” she says. The level she stresses right here, though, is that the authorities is accountable for defending American residents’ rights:

Every American citizen is entitled to their vote counting equally to different American residents only…This is a basic premise of our democracy.

Any state or native authorities that refuses to do so is breaking the law, Dhillion states. Then there was the concern so many of us come to loggerheads with during election time, when people attempt to argue about the rarity of fraud on voter rolls: (emphasis added)

The response I at all times get to this criticism that every violation [of the voting laws] when it comes to our voting rolls — “Whatever, Harmeet, voter fraud is so rare!” Well, it does not have to be fraud. It may very well be any quantity of causes. Every citizen is entitled to his or her vote being counted once and being counted equally…and that is not occurring [here].

She also talks about the limits on what the federal authorities can do under our federalist system:

Big image is that our election legal guidelines and our system of federalism are, first of all, made, for the most half, by state legislatures. That’s an important level.

There are some federal legal guidelines involving clean voter rolls…National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act. There’s also an important law known as the Voting Right Act, which is the subject of intensive litigation on the Left in redistricting — actually weaponizing it in one direction.

She provides that the Justice Department “[doesn’t] have jurisdiction over everything, over how states do their thing [on voting] for the most part.”

Once again, we’re seeing that this second Trump administration is the worst fascist dictatorship ever.

Watch:

Every American citizen is entitled to their vote counting equally to different American residents ONLY.

Any state or jurisdiction that refuses to comply with the Help America Vote Act will likely be met with lawsuits from @CivilRights. pic.twitter.com/y07lIWvOAs
