Trump Justice Department Challenges Suspected Noncitizen Voters Ahead of US Midterms
Ahead of the US midterm elections, the Trump administration's Justice Department has sought to identify and challenge suspected noncitizen voters using federal immigration records, particularly in California and Alaska. Courts have blocked efforts to remove or invalidate ballots close to election day, citing concerns over data accuracy and voter disenfranchisement. While the administration asserts these actions protect election integrity, critics warn that unreliable lists and legal challenges could affect eligible voters and election outcomes. The DOJ also faces scrutiny for intervening directly in election disputes, a break from past practice.
