US DOJ Sues California Over Voter Rolls, Seeks Block on Mail Ballots
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against California, seeking to block the counting of approximately 20,000 mail ballots from voters it alleges are non-citizens. This action follows a 48-hour ultimatum from the DOJ to California officials to investigate and set aside ballots from potential ineligible voters. The federal government's claims of widespread non-citizen voting are disputed by California, and the outcome of the lawsuit remains uncertain.
