"DOJ Threatens Arrests Over Noncitizen Voting Fears: Election Officials Put on Notice. In a shocking move, the Department of Justice has issued a stern warning to over a dozen state election officials, threatening to arrest them if a single vote is cast by a noncitizen in their states. The letter, obtained by Votebeat, gives officials just five days to outline their plans for ensuring compliance with laws against noncitizen voting. The move has sparked concerns that the DOJ is overstepping its authority and putting undue pressure on local election officials. As election laws continue to be a contentious issue, this development is likely to fuel further debate and scrutiny of the voting process."
