Legal filing questions Trump's claims of non-citizen voting in California

Data scientists have found that many people the administration of US President Donald Trump labelled "likely non-citizens" were flagged in error. The finding undercuts the administration's claims about non-citizen voting in California.

A legal filing in the United States challenges claims by Donald Trump's administration that non-citizens are voting in elections in California. The filing cites an analysis by data scientists, who found that many people the administration identified as "likely non-citizens" had been flagged erroneously.

The alleged voting by non-citizens is one of the issues the Trump administration raises in connection with election security. If the data the administration relied on is inaccurate, that affects how well founded its claims about California are.

The source text available does not say which court the filing was submitted to, who prepared it, or which specific case it relates to. It also does not state how many people were wrongly flagged. For that reason, those details are not included in this report.
