Illegal V**es
Sep 6, 2018 13:53:11 #
Federal immigration officials have subpoenaed more than 20 million documents related to v**er records in North Carolina as part of an investigation into alleged fraud.
The official request is “the most exhaustive on record” for e******n officials, North Carolina State Board of E******ns and Ethics Enforcement (NCSBE) attorney Josh Lawson said to the assistant U.S. attorney named on the subpoena in an email, which was provided to Fox News.
The request comes just weeks after Justice Department officials charged 19 foreign nationals with illegal v****g in North Carolina in the 2016 e******n. The cases are also being investigated by the Immigration and Custom Enforcements (ICE) agency.
The defendants – from numerous countries, including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria and Germany – were accused of filing a false claim of citizenship in order to v**e or illegal v****g.
The subpoena request, which state officials say impedes their efforts to get ready for November e******ns, asks for more than 15 million documents in North Carolina’s v***r r**********n database as well as more than 5.6 million individual b****ts from 44 counties, according to data provided to Fox News by the NCSBE.
Specifically, the subpoena requests of the counties: “Any and all poll books, e-poll books, v****g records, and/or v**er authorization documents, and executive official b****ts (including absentee official b****ts), that were submitted to, filed by, received by, and/or maintained by the [specific county's board of e******ns] from August 30, 2013 through August 30, 2018.”
And of the state board of e******ns: “Any and all v***r r**********n applications and/or other documents, as identified below, that were submitted to, filed by, received by, or maintained by the North Carolina State Board of E******ns from January 1, 2010 through August 30, 2018, within any of the counties in North Carolina.”
The state has a deadline of Sept. 25 to comply with the subpoena request, although Assistant U.S. Attorney Sebastian Kielmanovich indicated county board officials could apply for an extension.
“We are deeply concerned by the administrative drain on county boards of e******ns in order to comply with the extensive subpoenas immediately prior to a federal e******n, including the necessary reproduction of millions of documents (all b****ts, etc.),” Lawson said in his letter.
“Responding to the subpoena will impose an unreasonable burden upon the staff of each county subpoenaed, and it is difficult to believe that it will be possible to review the vast quantity of requested materials before the general e******n,” Wake County Commissioner John D. Burns said in a letter to U.S. Attorney Robert Higdon.
Higdon resides over the 44 counties specifically targeted in the subpoena, according to WRAL-TV. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina declined to comment on the subpoenas to Fox News on Thursday.
Wake County Board of E******ns Vice Chairman Greg Flynn told WRAL: “I don’t even know if they have the manpower to process all that. It’s just so broad, and the number of documents you’re talking about is just phenomenal.”
Burns also said the investigation “risks being viewed by the public as a partisan effort to interfere with the v**e” in the upcoming general e******n.
There has been an intense debate in the country – particularly in North Carolina – over v***r f***d and efforts by Republican lawmakers to impose stricter v**er ID requirements. President Trump, too, has long claimed widespread v***r f***d took place in the 2016 e******n, an assertion that has not been substantiated. But Democrats have argued v****g fraud is not a widespread problem.
Trump launched a v***r f***d commission in his first year in office, but it disbanded after facing multiple legal challenges as it attempted a widespread collection of data.

After being laid off as an engineer, I became a substitute teacher. I walked into a Hispanic class where there was no lesson plan. I said I had something to teach them. The said they did not want to be taught. They said they were there so their mothers would not be deported. I asked how many driver licenses their fathers had. The average was about 7, the highest was 17. Each license is worth a bunch of food stamps, medical and 1 v**e. I believe each license had a different combination of their many names and a different address. Politicians who promise the most freebies have the advantage in many districts.
