DHS Whistle-Blower Exposes Illegal Voter Data Raid as Trump Tells Supporters to “Cheat Like Hell”

WASHINGTON, DC — A federal whistle-blower report released today reveals Donald Trump’s Homeland Security agents likely broke state laws while seeking private voter data, rushing through at least 40 voter reviews a day using junk data that likely improperly flagged eligible voters as noncitizens. It comes days after a whistle-blower revealed the Postal Service was defying a federal court order in order to reject mail ballots, and less than a week after Trump stood on stage in Dallas and told his own supporters to “cheat like hell” in November.

In any normal administration with competent leadership in Congress, there would be immediate investigations of this whistle-blower report. But MAGA Republicans in Congress and Trump’s DOJ have shown again and again they’re not interested in holding him accountable. They’re only interested in protecting their own power.

“Federal agents posing as individual voters and using personally identifiable information to seek their voting records is identity theft, pure and simple,” said Abhi Rahman, Try And Stop Us Spokesperson. “Congress and the Justice Department should be hauling these officials in for testimony and opening a real investigation today. They won’t, because Trump’s allies in Congress and his DOJ support this operation, and they want the electorate scared and confused heading into November to rig the game on an election they know they are likely to lose. Well, they won’t get their way. Midterm voting is already underway, and there’s nothing Trump can do to stop it.”
