LA officials say many people on DOJ noncitizen voter list were born in U.S.
Los Angeles election officials say, in court papers, that a "high percentage" of the 20,000 names on a Justice Department list of suspected noncitizens were born in the United States.
Los Angeles election officials said in court papers on Tuesday that a "high percentage" of people on a Justice Department list of suspected noncitizens were born in the United States. The Guardian and ABC News both reported the statement.
The list has 20,000 people in California, according to the Guardian. The department sent it last week to Los Angeles County and the California secretary of state. The Guardian reports the department gave them 48 hours to separate ballots cast by anyone on the list, unless citizenship could be verified.
California election officials refused. The Guardian reports the Justice Department sued them on Thursday.
ABC News describes the people in question as those who say they were born in the U.S. It attributes the finding to an analysis by Los Angeles County. The Guardian says the statement raises further questions about how reliable the list is.
