The U.S. Department ​of Justice has sent letters to all 50 U.S. states warning that election officials could ‌face criminal charges for allowing noncitizens to remain on their lists of eligible voters.

The letters, sent on Tuesday, are the latest attempt by Republican President Donald Trump’s administration to pressure states ahead of November’s midterm elections, which will decide control of Congress.

    To the Feds out there, your Oath of Office has never been an oath of loyalty to the United States Government, but rather to the Constitution. The fact that many of you seem to be too stupid to have comprehended that is no defense. You are exactly the “domestic” enemy mentioned in the oath. We will throw parades to celebrate your fall.
