JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUBPOENAS TURN ELECTION FIGHT INTO LEGAL DRAMA!
California election officials face federal demands for testimony and records.
Federal investigators have demanded records from Los Angeles County election employees in a politically sensitive inquiry. The administration says it is examining alleged unlawful voting, while election officials and critics have challenged aspects of the federal effort in court. A judge has placed limits on the government’s request and scheduled further proceedings. The existence of an investigation does not establish the accuracy of allegations about particular ballots. As election administrators prepare for November, the case is another reminder that court filings and political claims must be distinguished from proven facts.
Why it matters: The latest developments show why it is important to separate confirmed information from speculation and follow the underlying reporting.
And One More Thing…
Washington has so many subpoenas, the office supply stores are thinking of opening a legal department.
