Justice Department Urges Sanctions for Database Analysis Critical of Its Noncitizen Voting Claims
The department said the group’s analysis violated a court order and asked a judge to consider contempt after it found more than 40% of names missing from the voter file.
- The Justice Department on Sunday asked District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg to consider contempt charges against an immigrant rights group after they published an analysis of a list containing more than 20,000 alleged noncitizen voters in California.
- On Friday, Boasberg allowed the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights access to the data to argue legal standing, ordering the group not to disclose names and use the information only for court arguments.
- Attorneys for the Coalition filed papers Saturday revealing that their analysis found more than 40% of the people on the list do not appear in California's voter file, while identifying 22 people likely to be naturalized citizens.
- Alberto Lammers, a spokesman for the Voting Rights Project, stated that counsel and experts "fully complied with the Court's orders," while the Justice Department argued the analysis was "political grandstanding" irrelevant to legal standing.
- Separately, the Justice Department appealed a ruling by District Court Judge Trina Thompson that barred the government from demanding election offices separate ballots or threaten legal action, with a Monday hearing scheduled.
