Filing says 42 per cent of names on Trump's California non-citizen list are not on voter rolls

Names not in California's voter files

42 %

Two UCLA data scientists found 8,880 names on the administration's list of 20,930 "likely non-citizens" are not in California's current voter files, a share of 42 per cent.

The analysis, filed Saturday by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, also found that thousands of potentially eligible US citizens were wrongly flagged. Many other names were confirmed citizens or may be citizens.
