What to know

  • UCLA's independent analysis of the DOJ's 20,930-name noncitizen voter list found 42% don't appear on California's voter rolls and at least 22 are confirmed U.S. citizens, casting serious doubt on the list's accuracy.
  • Multiple federal judges have already rejected the administration's demand as unconstitutional, but Trump responded Saturday claiming the courts are blocking 'Election Fraud' fixes despite 'Hundreds of Thousands, and maybe even Millions' of alleged fraudulent votes.
  • The DOJ has threatened criminal prosecution of election officials and issued subpoenas, putting pressure on counties to act despite the list's documented errors and lack of time for proper investigation under law.

“The expert analysis further makes clear that the mandated voter list endangers a significant number of eligible California voter.”

    In a social media post, President Trump responded to the legal rulings against his effort, claiming his Justice Department found "20,000, but potentially Hundreds of Thousands, and maybe even Millions" of fraudulent votes and questioning why courts reject fixing alleged election fraud.

    “20,000, but potentially Hundreds of Thousands, and maybe even Millions," of fraudulent votes, "and the Court has just ruled against it. Why would they reject fixing Election Fraud?”
    — President Donald Trump
