EXCERPT:
California’s Democrat leaders are outraged after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) ordered the state to block votes being cast by noncitizens in upcoming elections.
The DOJ is seeking an emergency injunction against California after state officials rejected its demand to segregate ballots associated with approximately 20,000 registered voters that federal authorities have identified as “likely noncitizens.”
Attorney General Todd Blanche says the action aims to prevent noncitizens from voting in the upcoming election, pointing to California’s practice of automatically mailing ballots to every active registered voter.
California’s leaders are attacking the lawsuit, with Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom accusing the Trump administration of voter suppression and state election officials disputing the reliability of the federal findings.
