California officials ordered by DoJ to set aside ‘likely’ noncitizen ballots

Federal prosecutors from the DoJ sent letters to county registrars across California demanding that local officials set aside and verify ballots that may belong to noncitizens. This action represents the latest escalation in a legal battle between California and Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. The federal government is focusing on the state to root out noncitizen voting before the midterm elections, as reported by the Los Angeles county registrar and the Associated Press.
