California challenges DHS over noncitizen voter claims, demands data transparency

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber challenged DHS’s claim that thousands of California voters may be noncitizens, demanding a detailed explanation of the data sources, software and matching criteria used, whether AI played a role, and who supplied the voter records. She noted California has not provided its statewide voter list to the federal agency due to privacy laws, and warned against any improper removals during the National Voter Registration Act’s quiet period ahead of the November election, a stance echoed by Nevada and Pennsylvania in seeking transparency.
