DOJ Orders Some California Counties To Verify Ballots In 48 Hours
Federal prosecutors are demanding that county registrars across California set aside and verify ballots that may belong to noncitizens. Federal prosecutors have ordered some county registrars 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 follows a lawsuit by the federal government against Los Angeles County and California Secretary of State’s offices aimed at preventing them from counting votes of roughly 20,000 people who are “likely” noncitizens. A hearing on the case is set for Tuesday. The Justice Department is asking counties to send information about the voters it suspects are noncitizens, including social security numbers, ID information, and a copy of their registration. California's attorney and county registrar have opposed the federal demands, arguing that the federal data is unreliable and that their demands could disenfranchise citizens.
