In a dramatic move, the US Justice Department has threatened California with legal action, demanding that the state review its voter rolls for alleged noncitizen voters. The department has provided California officials with a tight 48-hour deadline to address these claims, marking an unprecedented intervention ahead of the elections. This demand follows previous threats from the Trump administration regarding the same issue and raises concerns about potential blocking of votes in a heated pre-election scenario. The situation continues to unfold, with California officials urged to take immediate action.
