Los Angeles County Officials Tell Court They Cannot Independently Verify Citizenship
What happened
Los Angeles County election officials told a federal court that they have no independent way to verify the citizenship of voters beyond what voters state on their registration forms. The statement was made during federal court proceedings regarding voter rolls. A federal prosecutor characterized this as a significant concession in the case.

Right outlets frame the admission as validating longstanding concerns about election integrity. The Blaze calls practices 'no better than those in many third-world nations' and questions why California says 'trust us.'
