DOJ Demands Sanctions After Analysis Challenges Federal Noncitizen Voter List Accuracy
The Justice Department seeks sanctions after a new analysis found over 40% of flagged noncitizen voters in California are missing from state voter rolls.
POLICY WIRE — Washington, USA — The Department of Justice is calling for sanctions following an independent database analysis that disputes the accuracy of its own claims regarding noncitizen voting in California.
A legal filing submitted on Saturday by an immigrant rights organization revealed that its review discovered that more than 40% of the individuals identified as potential noncitizen voters do not actually appear on the state’s official registration records.
This marks the first time an outside entity has scrutinized the list that the federal government has utilized to signal potential legal action against local election authorities.
Local election officials in Los Angeles County expressed similar skepticism regarding the federal data. Their preliminary assessment of a list containing 20,000 “likely” noncitizens registered in the state characterized the information as “unreliable.\
These new details emerged as part of the ongoing Justice Department lawsuit, which alleges that California officials have assisted in facilitating election fraud.
