A federal lawsuit has been filed accusing election officials of allowing noncitizens to vote in recent elections, a claim that has already been widely debunked by fact-checkers in multiple states. The legal challenge arrives just weeks before the midterm elections, raising concerns about potential disruptions to voting processes.

The timing of the lawsuit has sparked debate over its intent and possible impact on voter confidence ahead of November’s elections.
