Article Context
Sen. Thom Tillis said California's voting system is 'ripe for abuse' and accused the state of ballot harvesting, backing federal scrutiny ahead of the midterms. His comments followed a Justice Department lawsuit alleging more than 20,000 likely noncitizens are registered to vote in California, though the article notes the allegations have not established all are noncitizens or voted illegally. Appeals court judges appeared skeptical of the DOJ's bid to block counting disputed ballots. Gov. Gavin Newsom accused Trump of trying to interfere with the election, and Tillis also urged caution about preelection DOJ lawsuits.
