Election officials in Los Angeles County have reviewed a federal government list that identifies 20,000 individuals in California as "likely" noncitizens registered to vote, according to WKYU Public Radio.

Their preliminary analysis indicates that the list is unreliable, with some individuals on it appearing to be U.S.-born, as reported by Yellowstone Public Radio and other NPR member stations.

This finding raises questions about the accuracy of the Department of Justice's list and its implications for election integrity in California.

Officials have not confirmed the final accuracy of the list but caution against using it as definitive proof of noncitizen voter registration.

The situation highlights the challenges election officials face in verifying voter eligibility and maintaining accurate voter rolls in the state.
