LA County reviews some DOJ records of voters flagged as 'likely' noncitizens
County officials said a sample review found 112 inactive registrations and 86 mailed ballots, raising doubts about a federal list of 20,000 alleged noncitizen voters.
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles County officials challenged the Justice Department's list of 20,000 alleged noncitizen voters, with Monica Flores, a top official in the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office, finding that nearly 40% appear to be U.S.-born citizens.
- Homeland Security official Nicolas Bartell wrote in a Monday affidavit that his agency developed the disputed 20,000-person list and a separate batch of 17,000 additional voting records potentially tied to noncitizens.
- Flores noted 112 of the 200 sampled registrations were inactive, while 71.2% showed no voting history. She argued that segregating ballots is "administratively impossible" and would "risk disenfranchising voters who are validly registered."
- Lead federal prosecutor Bill Essayli called Flores' findings a "massive concession" on X on Tuesday, while DOJ spokesperson Kiersten Pels accused California of "willful blindness" in a statement.
- California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said state law requires only U.S. citizens to register, while state attorneys argued Tuesday that the federal government lacks authority to force voter roll purges within 90 days of an election.
