DOJ presses California counties to verify voter eligibility ahead of midterms
The DOJ is asking counties to send information about voters it suspects are noncitizens, including Social Security numbers, ID information, and more. Federal prosecutors have sent letters to county registrars across California demanding that local officials set aside and verify ballots that may belong to noncitizens ahead of the midterms. The letters are part of a legal battle between California and the Department of Justice, which has been focusing on noncitizen voting ahead of midterms in an effort to prevent Los Angeles County and California Secretary of State's offices 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 government's demands, arguing that the federal data is unreliable and that their demands could disenfranchise citizens.
