Federal Probes Into Alleged Noncitizen Voting Face Legal Challenges Ahead of Midterms
Federal investigations led by the Department of Homeland Security are examining alleged noncitizen voting in multiple states ahead of the November midterm elections. A California federal judge temporarily halted these probes in nine states, citing errors in data and concerns about intimidation of voter assistance groups. Democrats have filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from purging voter rolls or intimidating election officials. The administration maintains its focus on preventing illegal voting, while critics warn of potential voter suppression.
