Analysis Finds Over 40% of Trump Administration's California Noncitizen Voter List Absent from Rolls
An analysis by UCLA data scientists found that over 40% of names flagged by the Trump administration as possible noncitizen voters in California do not appear on the state's voter rolls. The list, containing about 20,930 names, also includes thousands of U.S. citizens incorrectly marked as ineligible to vote. The Department of Justice demanded election officials separate ballots from these individuals, but courts have rejected this as unconstitutional. The Justice Department continues to pursue enforcement, citing election integrity concerns, while state officials dispute the list's accuracy.
