Trump’s DOJ focuses in on voter fraud, with a murky assist from DOGE

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently filed charges against several noncitizens for alleged illegal voting, with support from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The cases include individuals like Yelyzaveta Demydenko and her mother, who voted in a federal election despite not being U.S. citizens. These charges are part of efforts to address concerns about noncitizen voting, although there is no evidence of widespread conspiracy. The Justice Department’s focus on enforcing the president’s executive orders has led to these prosecutions, raising questions about the role of DOGE in these cases. Critics argue that these isolated incidents should not be used to justify sweeping voting restrictions that could affect millions of eligible voters.
