Quick Summary

An analysis by an unspecified entity has found that over 40% of the names listed by the Department of Justice as individuals who may be voting despite not being U.S. citizens do not actually appear on California’s voter registration rolls. This suggests a discrepancy in the DOJ's list, implying that a significant portion of the names identified might not accurately represent noncitizens who have voted illegally.

Story summary

On October 31, 2026, an analysis by two UCLA data scientists found that more than 40% of the names on the Department of Justice list of alleged noncitizen voters in California are not present on the state’s voter rolls. The list, containing over 20,930 names, was provided to election officials by the Trump administration and has been challenged as unconstitutional by multiple judges. The analysis also revealed that thousands of U.S. citizens appear on the government's list as ineligible voters, raising significant concerns about potential voting rights violations. This finding comes amid the final days before critical midterm elections in the United States, where control over key state and federal offices is at stake.
