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.

    So we’re fucked either way.

    This is the Hundred Years Reich, and if you just couldn’t vote for Harris, or refused to vote because you’re holding out for The Revolution, this is what you chose. And there ain’t no revolution.
