California election officials are challenging demands from President Donald Trump's Justice Department to set aside ballots linked to approximately 20,000 suspected noncitizens, warning that federal voter lists contain errors that could result in eligible voters' ballots being excluded from the November midterm elections.
The demands, delivered to county registrars on October 23, gave officials 48 hours to provide identifying information, including Social Security numbers, and separate ballots associated with voters whose citizenship the federal government questioned.
