The US Department of Justice has charged six people with alleged voter fraud crimes in California, as part of the Trump administration's campaign against the state's election processes.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) in California has charged six more people with alleged voter fraud crimes, an escalation of the Trump administration's campaign against the state's election processes on the eve of the midterms.
Bill Essayli, the top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles and a close ally of the president, announced on Monday that his office was prosecuting six lawful permanent residents accused of unlawfully registering to vote and casting fraudulent ballots.
Why this matters: The charges have been criticized by Democrats as an attempt to sow doubt in the results of the election.
What this means for you: If you are a registered voter in California, be aware that the DoJ is pushing for the exclusion of potentially fraudulent ballots from the count.
