A federal U.S. attorney in Southern California has made his first arrest in what he says will be an ongoing election fraud crackdown.
Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, is a one-man fraud-fighting phenomenon. He figured out how to avoid sanctuary policies that defy ICE detainer requests by issuing federal arrest warrants against the illegal aliens, necessitating their hand-off. He has arrested numerous criminals who were stealing vast amounts of taxpayer money. And he is also trying to fix just a few of the problems with the fraud-riddled California voting system.
Importantly, Essayli emphasized that this was the start of his effort to arrest election fraudsters, implying that there will be many more. This alien voter is not an anomaly, nor is his arrest a one-off incident. No doubt California Democrats from Gov. Gavin Newsom on down will have breakdowns over the new federal crackdown.
In discussing Rivera’s case, Essayli highlighted the fact that it is incredibly easy for noncitizens in California to register to vote and request a mail-in ballot. The range of identification that California accepts for registering to vote includes everything from a passport or military ID or driver’s license to a health club card, a student ID, a bank statement, a government check, a public housing card, a discount card, or a drug prescription. Many, if not most, of these are accessible to illegal aliens in California.
