The Biden-Harris administration's Department of Justice recently filed a lawsuit against Alabama and its top election official after the state removed thousands of noncitizens from its voter rolls. According to the DOJ, the move violated federal law because it was made too close to Election Day.Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, sworn into office in January 2023, purged 3,251 individuals registered to vote from the state's rolls. The removed individuals were previously issued noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security. Noncitizens can use the identification numbers to obtain driver's licenses and provide proof of residency.'It is my constitutional duty to ensure that only American citizens vote in our elections.'Allen has expressed his commitment to ensuring that Alabama has the "cleanest and most accurate" voter rolls in the country. "I have been clear that I will not tolerate the participation of noncitizens in our elections," Allen stated. "I have even gone so far as to testify before a United States Senate Committee regarding the importance of this issue. We have examined the current voter file in an attempt to identify anyone who appears on that list that has been issued a noncitizen identification number." After Allen instructed the removal of the noncitizens from the rolls, the administration filed a lawsuit against the state and Allen for allegedly violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which requires all changes to registration lists to be completed 90 days before federal elections. According to the DOJ, Allen's changes were implemented 84 days before the November election.Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said, "The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights in our democracy.""As Election Day approaches, it is critical that Alabama redress voter confusion resulting from its list maintenance mailings sent in violation of federal law," Clarke continued. "Officials across the country should take heed of the National Voter Registration Act's clear and unequivocal restrictions on systematic list maintenance efforts that fall within 90 days of an election. The Quiet Period Provision of federal law exists to prevent eligible voters from being removed from the rolls as a result of last-minute, error-prone efforts."A DOJ press release claimed that the agency's review discovered that "both native-born and naturalized U.S. citizens have received letters stating that their voter record has been made inactive and that they have been placed on a path for removal from Alabama's statewide voter registration list."The agency is seeking injunctive relief that would restore the individuals to the voter rolls. "The department also seeks remedial mailings to educate eligible voters concerning the restoration of their rights and adequate training of local officials and poll workers to address confusion and distrust among eligible voters accused of being noncitizens," the DOJ's press release read.In response to the lawsuit, Allen told Fox News Digital, "I was elected secretary of state by the people of Alabama, and it is my constitutional duty to ensure that only American citizens vote in our elections.""As to the question regarding the Department of Justice's lawsuit, this office does not comment on pending litigation where the secretary of state is a named defendant," Allen added.Like Blaze News?

More than 100 Americans are dead after Hurricane Helene, a powerful Category 4 cyclone, made landfall in Florida last week. What made Helene unusual compared to previous major hurricanes is that communities hardest hit sit hundreds of miles from the coast. Dozens of people in Georgia and South Carolina are already confirmed dead, while at least 30 people in Buncombe County in North Carolina — where the city of Asheville is located — have already been confirmed dead. Where is the media coverage? Where are President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris? Unfortunately, the death toll is expected to rise as emergency crews finally reach impassable areas. The storm was especially devastating for mountain communities in north Georgia and the Carolinas because it had already been raining there for nearly a day — rain from a separate storm system — when Helene barreled through the region, bringing with her hurricane-force winds and torrential downpours. The cumulative impact caused mudslides and historic flooding while falling trees cut power to millions of Americans. Many of the Appalachian communities already forgotten were cut off from the outside world: no electricity, no running water, no internet, and no cell phone service. At one point, all four interstate entrances and exits into the city of Asheville were cut off. The flooding even wiped away entire communities. Interstate 40 near the Tennessee-North Carolina border is also impassable after one side of the highway fell into the raging Pigeon River. And dozens of people had to be rescued from a hospital roof in eastern Tennessee. A beautiful region of the United States has, in many areas, been permanently damaged. The impact is already being compared to what happened after Hurricane Katrina. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) described the destruction, saying it "looks like a bomb went off." North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D), moreover, said Helene was "one of the worst storms in modern history." But there was a burning question on social media over the weekend: Where is the media coverage? Where are President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris? It's true the media is finally covering the story. But the problem that people expressed on social media over the weekend is that the coverage, especially on Friday and Saturday, did not match the magnitude of the unfolding disaster. — (@) As of Monday, the president and vice president have tweeted about the storm a handful of times combined. Additionally, Biden has approved "Major Disaster" declarations for Florida and North Carolina, and FEMA has deployed just 800 personnel to the region, according to CBS News. Harris also cut short a campaign trip to receive briefings on Helene.Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is stepping up. Launching "Operation Blue Ridge," the Florida Republican deployed his state's resources to help with recovery efforts. Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Georgia on Monday, where he will meet with local officials and help distribute disaster relief supplies. As rescue operations continue over the coming days and weeks, it will be difficult to comprehend the scope of the death and destruction. AccuWeather's preliminary estimate of total storm damage and economic loss is between $95–$110 billion. If you want to support recovery efforts, consider donating to Mercury One, Samaritan's Purse — which is located in Boone, North Carolina, a mountain town devastated by Helene — or other official charitable organizations assisting in the recovery.

Dr. Christina Francis is the CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists — and she’s exposing the truth about media misinformation surrounding abortions and miscarriages. One tragic example of this is the recent story of Amber Thurman, which made headlines when Democrats began wielding it as a weapon to push the pro-choice agenda. They claimed that the late mother lost her life to Georgia’s pro-life laws that left them refusing to perform an abortion for her. What really happened is even more heart-wrenching. Thurman was mother to a six-year-old boy and decided to get an abortion after learning she was pregnant with twins. She made the trip to North Carolina from Georgia for the procedure, as she was too far along to legally be given the abortion in Georgia. After arriving back home in Georgia and taking the abortion pills, she fell ill and rushed to the ER with heavy bleeding and signs of an infection. While the doctors did give her antibiotics and performed a D&C, the procedure was not done in time to save her life. “She ended up dying, which is tragic all around,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” tells Dr. Francis, who agrees that it’s a tragic situation “that could have been avoided.” “I think that we can actually draw different, very different, conclusions than what the media and politicians are drawing from that,” Dr. Francis says. “As she said, she was pregnant with twins, which would increase her risk some of complications from abortion drugs.” “Because she got delayed by traffic, it said that the abortion facility could not hold her appointment for longer than 15 minutes. And so instead, a clinic employee offered her the abortion drugs. To me, that was the first red flag,” she continues, asking, “Where was the physician?” “Where was the person who could truly give her informed consent about the risks of those drugs?” she asks, noting that it wasn’t just the abortion clinic that failed her. The Georgia hospital that treated Thurman should have known immediately that she was showing signs of sepsis, which would require “immediate initiation of IV antibiotics and a D&C procedure.” “That’s the only way that you can get an infection like this under control, you cannot control it with antibiotics alone,” Dr. Francis explains, adding, “Every competent ob-gyn should know that.” While the media and politicians are claiming that this was due to Georgia’s pro-life laws, the doctors who took care of her aren’t even blaming Georgia’s pro-life laws. “Georgia’s law would not have applied to Amber Thurman for two reasons,” Dr. Francis explains. “Her babies were not alive when she presented to the emergency room, and Georgia’s law clearly states that it does not apply in situations where a fetal demise or the babies have already passed.” “Second of all,” she continues, “Georgia’s law has clear medical exceptions when women are facing life-threatening complications, that the doctors could have intervened immediately. So we need to be pointing fingers at the right things. We need to be pointing fingers at these abortion drugs.” Dr. Francis also notes that these infections are known to be caused by abortion drugs, and “over 30 women have died in the U.S. now, that we know of, since taking these drugs.” Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
