Judge orders Trump administration to hand over list of alleged noncitizen voters
The judge said the disclosure is needed to determine whether other states quietly complied with demands to segregate ballots of alleged noncitizens.
- On Thursday, Judge James Boasberg ordered the Justice Department to disclose which states beyond California and Washington received letters demanding officials set aside ballots of alleged noncitizens since July.
- Alleging the Trump administration is improperly inserting itself into state election procedures, Senate Minority Leader Sen. Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Democratic committees filed the federal lawsuit.
- Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs challenged the department's demand to segregate ballots, noting that federal authorities included U.S. citizens in their list of alleged noncitizens and urging data review.
- Boasberg set an expedited briefing schedule with a Saturday deadline to resolve the dispute before upcoming elections, stating, "You can get it done earlier so people can go trick or treating, that."
- Legal arguments center on whether the letters coerce states via prosecution threats, while government attorney Christian Dibblee countered they are not self-enforcing; a California judge recently denied setting aside 20,000 ballots.
