States push back on Trump's noncitizen voting claims
State officials say the federal lists are inaccurate, while judges and county reviews have raised doubts about the administration’s claims.
- Election officials across California, Washington, and Nevada are rejecting voter lists provided by the Trump administration, citing significant inaccuracies and lack of verification just days before the November 3 election.
- The Trump administration pressured states to purge registration rolls, claiming some 278,000 noncitizens were improperly registered to vote, but state and local officials describe the federal lists as unreliable after initial estimates were drastically reduced.
- Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs wrote that the data contains "several glaring deficiencies," while in Butte County, official Keaton Denlay found 32 of 47 names provided were not on active voter rolls.
- Judge David Carter rejected the Justice Department's bid for emergency intervention in California on October 28, citing the administration's "unreliability" and "lack of credibility" in questioning the list's reliability.
- With the November 3 election approaching, election officials warn that purging registrations so close to voting risks disenfranchising eligible citizens, a concern shared by judges overseeing the Justice Department's legal cases.
