DOJ Demands California Counties Verify Alleged Noncitizen Ballots Within 48 Hours

Federal prosecutors sent letters to county registrars in at least 18 California counties on Friday, demanding they set aside and verify ballots suspected of belonging to noncitizens within a 48-hour deadline. The Justice Department alleges these individuals are illegally registered voters, though state officials argue the federal data is unreliable and the demands threaten election integrity. This action follows a recent lawsuit targeting Los Angeles County and the California Secretary of State regarding similar allegations. Voting remains underway in California, with over 330,000 mail-in ballots already counted.
