DOJ sues California after state misses noncitizen voter roll deadline

The Justice Department sued California on Wednesday, seeking to block the counting of mail ballots from voters it alleges are likely noncitizens ahead of the November 3 election. The suit follows a DOJ demand that officials review a federal list of suspected noncitizen voters within 48 hours. California Secretary of State Shirley Weber's office said the DOJ never provided the list and called the demand unsupported by evidence or legal authority.
