The Trump administration is threatening legal action against California if it allows people on a list of alleged noncitizens to vote.

Department of Justice (DOJ) spokesperson Kiersten Pels confirmed to Democracy Docket that the department “has sent letters to California election officials demanding immediate action to ensure that noncitizens do not vote in the upcoming federal election.”

The DOJ gave California officials 48 hours to comb through a “password-protected thumb drive” provided to Los Angeles County with names of people the Trump administration “believes are likely noncitizens,” Reuters reported.

Trump generated propaganda for the Magat class. Gotta keep the fact that Trump rapes little girls out of the news.

    More Trump generated propaganda for the Magat class. Gotta keep people from focusing on the fact that Trump rapes children.

    The DOJ then wants California to refuse to send a ballot to those voters until their citizenship status is confirmed, according to Reuters.

    the midterm ballots are already in people's homes

    Hope they do. I'd love to see a judge tear apart the plaintiff for this expensive, frivolous goose chase.

    The only noncitizens registered to vote that I've heard of were in NJ and that was self-reported by the state government. 🤨

    Everyone named Jose Martinez or Maria Hernandez better prove their citizenship with two forms of ID and a gential inspection because there's someone without citizenship that existed with the same name. Same goes for all the Adam Smiths.
