> The Trump administration sued California, alleging the state missed a deadline to review a list of registered voters it said included about 20,000 noncitizens. The Justice Department asked a court to bar the state from counting their mail-in ballots. California officials say the information is unverifiable and the demand threatens voters’ rights. The lawsuit comes weeks before the midterms, after claims of noncitizen voting in several states were debunked.
