The Justice Department has ordered California counties to verify ballots in 48 hours after an emergency request over noncitizen voters.

The news that has left me stunned is that the Justice Department has issued an emergency request to California counties, which I'm still trying to process. Steve Hilton, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, is raising eyebrows with his criticism of California's unfinished high-speed rail project after Andy Beshear boasted about Democratic governors' achievements on HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher'. But what really threw me for a loop was the Justice Department's sudden demand that California counties verify ballots sent to individuals who are allegedly not U.S. citizens.

The DOJ's Request

The Justice Department has ordered some California counties to verify ballots in 48 hours. This comes after an emergency request from the department regarding noncitizen voters.

What This Means for Californians

The Justice Department's emergency request to California counties over ballots mailed to alleged noncitizens is a disturbing development that raises serious questions about the integrity of California's voting system. The department has ordered some counties to verify ballots in 48 hours, which is an incredibly tight deadline.

It's unclear at this point how many ballots were affected or what specific steps the counties will take to verify the citizenship status of voters. The Justice Department's request was made in response to allegations that noncitizens had received mail-in ballots, but it's not clear whether any actual votes were cast by ineligible individuals.

The fact that this issue has come to light is a testament to the vigilance of election officials and the importance of maintaining the integrity of our electoral process. It's a reminder that California's voting system needs to be taken seriously and that any allegations of voter fraud must be thoroughly investigated.

This development raises serious questions about the integrity of California's voting system. If ballots are being mailed to alleged noncitizens, it's a clear indication that something has gone terribly wrong. The Justice Department's request is a stark reminder that our electoral process needs to be taken seriously.
