US Warns California Over Mail Ballots
The Justice Department warned California election officials they could face liability for counting mail ballots from alleged noncitizens. President Trump threatened officials with prison time as the state defended its voter rolls.
The United States Justice Department warned California election officials on Friday they face criminal liability if they count mail-in ballots from over 20,000 residents flagged as possible noncitizens. The warning arrives less than three weeks before midterm elections on November 3. The federal move escalates a legal clash over voter rolls and election integrity in the nation's most populous state.
