Robert De Niro Urges Early Voting, Warns of Potential Trump Administration Interference
De Niro tells voters to cast ballots early as the Justice Department seeks to block California from counting some mail votes.
- On October 15, The DOJ sued California, seeking to block mail ballots from "likely noncitizens" and requesting the state purge 20,000 voter records until citizenship status is verified.
- Screen icon Robert DeNiro urged Americans to vote early, warning that "thugs" are working to disenfranchise voters ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Officials gave the state a 48 hours deadline to purge the 20,000 names, delivering the list on a thumb drive with a password written on a sticky note.
- Election law expert Rick Hasen criticized the request, citing the National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to complete voter purges at least 90 days before federal elections.
- Calling the vote a "superpower," DeNiro encouraged citizens to join Hands Off Our Vote, a group fighting to ensure the will of the people prevails.
