Summary

The Justice Department sued California, alleging the state failed to review about 20,000 voters it suspects are noncitizens registered ahead of November's election. The DOJ said it sent election officials a USB drive with names from the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday, demanding a comparison within 48 hours, before filing suit Thursday when the state did not comply.
