DOJ Subpoenas California Election Workers Amid Voter Roll Dispute

The Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, issued subpoenas to Los Angeles election workers, escalating tensions with California officials. This action follows DOJ demands for states to set aside ballots from individuals flagged as 'likely' noncitizens and a federal judge's rejection of that demand. California election officials argue they are following state and federal law, while the DOJ asserts it is investigating potential voter fraud.
