DOJ warns of criminal charges for state election officials if noncitizens vote

The Department of Justice has issued a stern warning to state election officials about potential criminal charges if they turn a blind eye to noncitizen voting, despite longstanding evidence that such incidents are rare. Trump and his team have persistently claimed that noncitizen voting is a major issue, but experts say it's not a significant problem. This move by DOJ underscores the administration's focus on what critics see as a manufactured crisis, raising questions about the implications for electoral integrity and the legal repercussions for officials who fail to address these alleged violations.
