On Monday, federal authorities charged more than 20 foreign nationals as part of a statewide crackdown in California targeting individuals whom the authorities allege registered and voted illegally in U.S. elections.

These arrests form part of the Trump administration's efforts to eradicate voting by noncitizens ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, yet the data suggest that the problem occurs exceedingly rarely, is notoriously difficult to prove, and that no evidence exists that it could alter election outcomes.

Moreover, this reflects a further escalation in the intensifying voter-roll dispute between the federal government and California, which has drawn attention following the Justice Department's lawsuit against the state last week and its warning that local election officials who knowingly process or tally ballots submitted by noncitizen voters face investigation and potential prosecution.

The Justice Department stated that the 28 individuals charged as part of an enforcement initiative dubbed 'Operation Vote Protection' were lawful permanent residents but not U.S. citizens eligible to exercise voting rights lawfully.

The federal government has made the issue of non-citizen voting this year a top priority and has demanded that state governments provide detailed voter information, including dates of birth, addresses, driver's license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers.

This arrest is the latest in a series of operations in heavily Democratic California, which is not typically regarded as a major battleground state but nonetheless contains several competitive congressional races that could help determine which party controls the U.S. House during the final two years of President Donald Trump's term.

The lawsuit was filed after California state officials, despite having been given a 48-hour deadline to examine an encrypted thumb drive containing 20,000 names, failed to comply with it.

The federal government contends that these individuals are highly likely to be non-citizens who obtained ballots in order to participate in the November 3 election, but the state secretary of state stated that the administration has not presented any evidence to substantiate that claim.

As part of the litigation, the Justice Department on Monday filed papers seeking a court order that would compel California to segregate the ballots of suspected noncitizens and to verify their citizenship status, either independently or in cooperation with the federal government, before tallying mail-in votes, and it asked that the order be issued in time for the November 3 election.
