Trump Administration Seeks Investigation into Non-US Citizens Voting in Midterm Elections

The action comes nearly a week and a half before the November 3 midterm elections. President Donald Trump's administration is campaigning to investigate the voting of non-US citizens in various states across the country. However, many states have questioned claims of non-US citizens enlisting or voting en masse. Postal ballots are widely used for elections in California. Last week, the Trump administration filed a lawsuit against California. It sought a temporary halt to the counting of more than 20,000 postal ballots. The letter from the Justice Department also includes a list of people who the agency says may have been illegally registered as voters. The letter asks local election officials to work with the federal government within 48 hours to determine who are citizens and who are not. US President Donald Trump once again claimed that he threatened to impose heavy tariffs on Pakistan and India last May, even as India repeatedly called off a military mediation at a Florida election rally.
