Justice Dept Warns States on Voter Lists | US News

The Justice Department is sending urgent warnings to election officials nationwide, threatening criminal charges if they fail to ensure only citizens vote in federal elections or neglect federal voter registration rules. States have five days to explain how they’ll verify voter eligibility and maintain accurate rolls — a move critics say is politically motivated, with some officials calling it a “love letter” full of threats, especially since courts have already blocked demands for private voter data. This escalation comes as the department continues its legal push to enforce election laws, despite past lawsuits being dismissed by federal courts.
