Department of Justice Warns State Election Officials on Noncitizen Voting

The Department of Justice has issued a stern warning to state election officials regarding noncitizen voting. They have threatened to arrest more than a dozen officials if a vote is cast by any noncitizen in their states. The warning came in the form of a letter sent to these officials, demanding a detailed report within five days on how they plan to adhere to existing laws concerning noncitizen voting.

Amna Nawaz, co-anchor, and co-managing editor of PBS News Hour, discussed the implications of the letter with Jessica Huseman from Votebeat. Huseman, who obtained the letter, provided insights into its potential consequences and the challenges election officials might face in ensuring compliance.
