Justice Department faces legal threats after pushing California to match voter list with USB drive

The Justice Department has threatened California with legal action, claiming noncitizens may have received mail ballots. The DOJ demanded that California voting authorities cross-reference voter lists with a USB drive provided by the Trump administration within 48 hours. In response, a voting rights group warned the DOJ of a planned lawsuit if the department does not withdraw this demand. This conflict centers on the verification of voter rolls and the legality of the DOJ's requirements.
