California officials ordered by DoJ to set aside ‘likely’ noncitizen ballots
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported22m ago
On Friday, federal prosecutors sent letters to county registrars across California ordering local officials to set aside and verify ballots that the Department of Justice identified as likely belonging to noncitizens. The directive gives officials a 48-hour window to complete the verification process.
The federal intervention represents the latest escalation by the Department of Justice regarding ballot integrity. It also coincides with ongoing claims of voter fraud made by Donald Trump.
