20,000 Noncitizens Found on California Voter Rolls, Federal Prosecutor Says

Federal investigators have confirmed that approximately 20,000 noncitizens were found on California voter rolls, according to a statement by federal prosecutor Bill Essayli. These individuals had received mail ballots. The confirmation came after federal investigators examined voter roll entries that had been flagged.

Essayli, who serves as a federal prosecutor, stated that the flagged entries were all identified as noncitizens who had been issued mail ballots. The investigation aimed to verify the citizenship status of individuals on the voter rolls, particularly those who had received absentee ballots. The findings suggest a significant number of noncitizens were registered or received voting materials, raising concerns about election integrity.
