A federal judge hears arguments in the Justice Department's suit over noncitizens on California voter rolls while ICE reports 1,900 active noncitizen-voting investigations.
A US judge was due to hear arguments on Tuesday on the Justice Department's request to block California from counting mail ballots from more than 20,000 voters in the November 3 midterm elections. Separately, a government official told a federal court that Homeland Security has 1,900 active cases probing suspected noncitizen voting, and that a judge's recent ruling limiting interviews could undercut those investigations.
