DOJ Sues California Over 20,000+ Alleged Non-Citizen Votes, Demands Review
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against California to block the counting of over 20,000 votes from individuals it alleges are non-citizens, following an ultimatum for California to review voter rolls within 48 hours. This action represents an unprecedented federal intervention in state election administration, with the outcome uncertain regarding vote counting and potential legal precedents.
