The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Thursday against California, alleging the state refused to review a list of suspected noncitizens who were sent mail-in ballots to vote in the midterm elections.

The lawsuit comes two days after the DOJ sent letters to the California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder and Clerk Dean Logan requesting that the officials review a list of names believed by the federal government to be noncitizens who received mail-in ballots.
