🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

400 ballots is not the prize here. The precedent is. Get one state to set ballots aside on nothing but a DOJ claim, and the same letter goes to all fifty. Small ask, huge door.

No, this action would be specific to every state & is being challenged in state court (elections are the sole responsibility of the state), either by local AG's or others (ACLU, etc.).

Voting laws & procedures are state specific so that won't work. State presedent & State Constitutions do not work across state lines. The US Constitution, however, does.
