Los Angeles, CA, October 21, 2026 —
The U.S. Department of Justice is suing California over allegations that noncitizens are listed on the state’s voter rolls. The department has also filed charges against individuals accused of voter fraud, according to the information provided about the case.
Election experts in Los Angeles are advising voters not to be concerned. They say the federal case is unlikely to succeed and recommend that voters continue with the election process as normal. The account does not identify the experts or provide details about the basis for their assessment.
The claims described are allegations, and the available information does not say that a court has determined noncitizens were improperly registered or that the individuals charged have been found guilty. It also does not specify how many people are named in the charges, what conduct the charges concern, or what relief the Justice Department is seeking in its lawsuit.
Details about when the lawsuit was filed, which court is handling it and California’s response were not provided. No information was given about the status of the charges or any decisions in the case. The reported advice from Los Angeles election experts is that voters should proceed with the election process as usual, despite the federal action.
