California Dems’ refusal to check on noncitizen voting is damning
NY Post ^ | 17 Oct. 2026 | Post Editorial Board

In perhaps the most damning act of #Resistance yet, Gavin Newsom’s California is refusing to even check if a few thousand specific registered voters are in fact noncitizens.

Washington sent Sacramento a list of 20,000 suspected violations to check out; Newsom & Co. responded: Pound sand — so the feds are taking California to court.

Gov. Newsom and other Democrats are screaming that Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections, or maybe to set up another claim of “fraud” if he loses — but it sure looks like they fear what they might find if they look under the hood here.

It’d be easy for Sacramento to investigate: Just access the list of noncitizens the Justice Department sent over (in a password-protected thumb drive) and see if California, through county registrars, sent them ballots.

They could look, and prove the Trumpies are way off-base, or maybe find a few cases where mistakes were made — but surely not enough to impact any elections, right?

Right?

So why do California Democrats refuse?

Why? With mail in voting there are so many more ways to cheat.

“...or maybe to set up another claim of “fraud” if he loses...”

Silly me, didn’t even know Trump was on the ballot in CA.

And they still insist that there be no ICE presence near a polling place.

“but surely not enough to impact any elections”
1) A few votes make a difference in close elections
2) A few votes make a difference in low turnout/off year elections.
3) A few votes concentrated in one district can impact that district.
4) In my experience, vote harvesters are a much bigger problem than non-citizens voting. Vote harvesters vote on behalf of non-citizens (legal and illegal) and the dead, and minors 16-17 who were registered to vote when they applied for a drivers license, and felons serving time (depends on state) and movers, and vacant lots, vacant houses, vacant apartments. The total number from all types is much bigger than the number of “just non-citizens).

California is abusing and denying the rights of actual US citizens by playing these games with its elections. US troops were sent into southern states in the 50’s and 60’s to stop rights abuses.
