President Donald Trump is warning California election officials they could face lengthy prison sentences if they count ballots cast by suspected illegal aliens and noncitizens in the upcoming midterm elections.
“They will all go to jail for a long period of time!!!” Trump declared Friday on Truth Social, sharing a Department of Justice letter warning Los Angeles County officials of potential criminal consequences for allowing illegal votes to be counted.
The warning follows a federal lawsuit filed Thursday against California after the Justice Department provided election officials with citizenship data identifying approximately 20,000 registered voters flagged by the Department of Homeland Security as possible noncitizens.
Federal officials gave California 48 hours to compare the names against state voter records and requested that ballots associated with individuals whose citizenship could not be verified be set aside pending confirmation.
The administration maintains that knowingly allowing noncitizens to vote in federal elections violates federal law and could expose election officials to criminal prosecution.
