A recent analysis by UCLA's Voting Rights Project suggests that the Trump administration's list of 20,000 alleged noncitizen voters in California is largely inaccurate. The report indicates that more than 40 percent of those listed were not on the state's voter rolls, and many others are likely eligible to vote. This analysis was part of a legal challenge against the administration's efforts to prevent these individuals from voting, which have faced criticism and legal obstacles.
Key facts
- Over 40% of individuals on the noncitizen voter list were not on California's voter rolls.
