Orange County, Calif., Registrar Sued over Non-Citizen Voter Records

  • On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Orange County Registrar of Voters Robert Page for failing to release full documents concerning efforts to eliminate non-citizens from the California voter rolls.
  • The lawsuit followed a June 2 complaint from a family member alleging a non-citizen received an unsolicited mail ballot and Page’s refusal to comply conflicts with federal election laws despite citing California statutes for redactions.
  • Records submitted by Page redacted sensitive identifiers like driver's licenses and social security numbers, which the DOJ says prevents accurate law compliance assessment, while county officials publicly stated they acted according to state privacy laws.
  • Orange County has identified 17 ineligible voters in five years, 16 self-reported, and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon emphasized that removal of non-citizens is critical to maintaining accurate voter rolls and preventing fraudulent voting.
  • The DOJ vowed to hold jurisdictions accountable for federal election law compliance, while local officials encouraged transparency, acknowledging federal law overrides state law on voter record disclosures.
