Bill Essayli warned California's vote counters they could face criminal liability on the same day a federal judge ruled he is unlawfully serving as Los Angeles' top federal prosecutor.

Essayli made the threat in court over 20,000 Californians' mail ballots. Homeland Security flagged those voters as suspected noncitizens using the public voter roll and a data broker's records, and the Justice Department wants their ballots set aside until they prove citizenship.

The judge hearing the ballot case serves on the same federal court where Essayli prosecutes, and he ordered the threats against state and county election officials to stop immediately. Essayli says he will keep "serving in my current role" until the Supreme Court settles whether he can hold the job.

Republicans only want power and money

They don't give a damn about improving a thing or helping anyone

Remember that when you vote

Social Security filled in the citizenship line on 25 million Americans’ records using a Homeland Security database that has flagged citizens as noncitizens.

The agency called it the biggest cleanup in its 91-year history and said it is changing the citizenship status on 8.5 million more records. That database was rebuilt last year around Social Security’s own files, which the agency previously said can’t settle whether someone is a citizen.

With the Supreme Court’s permission, DHS has spent the past month checking voters against those same Social Security records. On Monday, federal prosecutors brought a Homeland Security list to Washington state and asked it to set aside more than 400 ballots. Washington has recorded 15 noncitizen votes since 1982.

Nothing but retaliation since a judge ruled that his daughter was unfairly fired as a Federal prosecutor. Orange man-baby is so disgusting.

Of course. He has to pretend to not hate black people.
