DOJ orders some California counties to verify ballots in 48 hours – WTOP News
Los Angeles (AP) — Federal prosecutors sent letters to county registrars across California on Friday demanding that local officials set aside and verify ballots Federal prosecutors have ordered some counties across California to set aside and verify ballots they believe may belong to noncitizens. The move is part of a legal battle between California and the Department of Justice, which has been focusing on noncitizen voting ahead of the midterm elections. This comes after the federal government targeted Los Angeles County and the California Secretary of State’s office in a lawsuit aimed at preventing them from counting votes of roughly 20,000 people who are “likely” noncitizens. The Justice Department is asking counties to provide identifying information about the voters it suspects are noncitizens, including social security numbers, ID information, a copy of their registration and more. California's attorney and county registrar have opposed the federal demands, arguing that the federal data is unreliable and that their demands risk disenfranchisement of citizens.
