DOJ Sues Orange County Registrar Robert Page for Refusing to Provide Non-Citizen Voter Removal Records Under Help America Vote Act

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Robert Page, the Registrar of Voters in Orange County, California, alleging violations of the Help America Vote Act. The lawsuit claims that the Orange County Registrar has refused to provide records related to the removal of non-citizens from voter registration rolls and has failed to maintain an accurate voter list. The DOJ contends that the county is concealing information about unlawful registration of non-citizen voters, which is a violation of federal election laws. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon emphasized the importance of removing non-citizens from voter rolls and stated that the DOJ will hold jurisdictions accountable. The case highlights ongoing concerns about election integrity and compliance with federal election regulations, particularly in relation to voter roll maintenance and the participation of ineligible voters in elections.
