US authorities' move on voter registration. Media report the initiation of an investigation

The U.S. administration has launched an investigation into alleged non-citizen voters in California's voter registration rolls, escalating tensions between federal and state authorities. The inquiry follows claims of thousands of non-citizens registered to vote, with subpoenas issued to local election officials. The investigation aims to determine how officials verify voter eligibility and prevent foreign votes from being counted. California officials assert they comply with both state and federal laws, while a federal judge recently dismissed a request to block counting votes from approximately 20,000 individuals suspected of lacking citizenship. The ongoing dispute highlights the broader conflict over election integrity and state versus federal authority.
