# Analysis: 42% of DOJ noncitizen voter list names not on California rolls

*UCLA Voting Rights Project analysis finds thousands of US citizens may be wrongly flagged.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 48 of 100, higher is better. The central claim is attributed to a legal filing by an immigrant-rights group and UCLA analysts.
- Craft 65 of 100, higher is better. The reporting clearly separates facts from comment and provides specific figures and names.
- Hype 20 of 100, lower is better. The language used is measured and proportionate, with no sensationalism.

**The short version**

- An analysis found that 42% of names on a Department of Justice list of alleged noncitizen voters in California could not be found on the state's voter rolls.
- The analysis, conducted by two data analysts at UCLA's Voting Rights Project, examined 20,930 names the Trump administration had demanded California officials treat as possible illegal voters.
- The study identified 8,880 names, or 42% of the list, that did not correspond to anyone in California's current voter file.
- Thousands of U.S. citizens appear to be flagged as ineligible to vote on the government's list, according to the analysis.

An analysis of a list compiled by the Trump administration identified 8,880 names, representing 42% of the total, that could not be found on California's current voter rolls. The analysis was conducted by two data analysts from UCLA's Voting Rights Project. The Department of Justice had previously demanded that California election officials treat these 20,930 names as potential illegal voters.

The UCLA analysis, detailed in a legal filing, also indicated that thousands of U.S. citizens may have been wrongly flagged as ineligible to vote. The researchers found that at least 22 individuals on the list are U.S. citizens, and many more may correspond to confirmed citizens. The analysis was made possible after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to share the list with plaintiffs in a related lawsuit.

## Disagreement on list origin

Washington Top News reported that the analysis was of a list used by the Department of Justice to threaten prosecution of election officials. Other reports stated it was a list the Trump administration had demanded California election officials treat as possible illegal voters.

## What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated or centre-rated digests mention that President Donald Trump claimed his Justice Department found "20,000, but potentially Hundreds of Thousands, and maybe even Millions," of fraudulent votes and questioned why courts rejected fixing election fraud. The right-rated digest did not mention the UCLA Voting Rights Project or the specific number of names analysed.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 98 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

- Left: 51% (50)
- Centre: 38% (37)
- Right: 11% (11)

4 of 102 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-11-02T01:15:12.637717+00:00.

**Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 119 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-11-02T01:30:10.964Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- Left-rated reports highlighted that the analysis was conducted by UCLA's Voting Rights Project and detailed in a legal filing by an immigrant-rights group. These reports noted that the analysis found thousands of U.S. citizens appear to be flagged as ineligible to vote on the government's list. Some also mentioned that multiple judges have rejected the Trump administration's demands as unconstitutional and a threat to democracy.

### Centre

- Centre-rated reports focused on the core finding that more than 40% of names on the DOJ list could not be found on California's voter rolls. These reports also mentioned that the analysis was conducted by UCLA data analysts and that thousands of U.S. citizens may be wrongly flagged as ineligible to vote. Some digests noted this was the first outside analysis of the list.

### Right

- The single right-rated report stated that more than 4 in 10 names flagged as possible noncitizen voters in California by the Trump administration cannot be found on the state's voter rolls, according to a legal filing by an immigrant rights group.

**Provisional coverage gap:** right. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.

## Questions

**What did the analysis of the DOJ list find?**

An analysis found that 8,880 names, or 42% of the 20,930 names on a Department of Justice list of alleged noncitizen voters in California, could not be found on the state's current voter rolls. The study also indicated that thousands of U.S. citizens may have been incorrectly flagged as ineligible to vote.

**Who conducted the analysis?**

The analysis was conducted by two data analysts at UCLA's Voting Rights Project. Their findings were detailed in a legal filing as part of a lawsuit challenging the DOJ's list.

**What was the Trump administration's demand regarding the list?**

The Trump administration had demanded that California election officials treat 20,930 names on the list as possible illegal voters and separate their ballots during the vote count.
