The attorney general’s comments come in the middle of a broader campaign by the Trump administration to zero in on what election experts say is a relatively rare phenomenon of voting by noncitizens.
Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday left open the possibility that the Justice Department could seek to block states from certifying votes in the midterm elections, though he said it wasn’t his intention to “improperly interfere with elections.”
NBC News reported this week that the Justice Department is weighing more election-related litigation against states after it sued California to compel state officials to review 18,000 registered voters it suspected could be noncitizens seeking to cast fraudulent ballots. California has an all-mail election and sends out ballots automatically.
Washington, D.C., and seven other states do, too: Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington. Mail voting has frequently been a target for President Donald Trump’s voter fraud claims, which have escalated ahead of the 2026 midterms, even as he uses the voting method to cast his ballot in Florida.
Schumer (and Jeffries) haven’t done shit. They haven’t even tried, and if they had no one would listen to them
But billionaire owned media is always going to pretend they’re the reason things happen
The sternly worded letters have already been written.
Whoa, to be fair, the Democratic Party has done everything they can to block progressive candidates and push shit incumbents to avoid watering down the vote for various positions. Gotta prevent the republicans from winning, right? That’s a lot they’ve done. /s
What a shit scenario, but still go vote!
The neoliberals lost the DNC in February of 2025…
There’s not really an excuse to still not know about that weeks before the 2016 midterms
Please point to some actual actions that demonstrate this is true. You’ve been repeating this for a while now but always just point to empty gestures and hollow words as ‘proof’ despite the party still rolling over for Trump at every turn and the same pro-corporate, establishment candidates getting all the party backing.
Hey Jeffries released a cringe video of himself holding a baseball bat a while ago!!
Yeah, I don’t believe Schumer or Jeffries will do anything beyond self-aggrandizing political theater. They’ve systematically demonstrated the caliber of their character, and it is teeny tiny.
It’s fuckin’ embarrassing.
