El Departamento de Justicia presenta demandas en California y Alaska por irregularidades electorales

Reuters informó que el Departamento de Justicia, bajo la dirección del Fiscal General Todd Blanche, presentó demandas en California y Alaska alegando irregularidades electorales, lo que generó críticas por romper la práctica de no intervenir partidariamente en las elecciones. ProPublica informó que la administración Trump intensificó la supervisión federal de las elecciones, enfocándose en votantes no ciudadanos, modificando las normas de voto por correo y reestructurando las agencias electorales a medida que se acercaban las elecciones intermedias de 2025. France 24 señaló que la administración estaba impulsando la Ley SAVE, ampliando una base de datos de verificación de ciudadanía y emprendiendo acciones legales que podrían endurecer los requisitos de voto y limitar el voto por correo antes de las elecciones intermedias de 2026.

El New York Post informó que el subsecretario adjunto de Justicia, Trent McCotter, envió cartas a todos los estados exigiendo que los funcionarios electorales conservaran los registros de votación durante al menos 22 meses bajo amenaza de sanciones penales. The Guardian indicó que el Departamento de Justicia y otros funcionarios federales iniciaron demandas y consultas de listas de votantes que, según los críticos, buscan interferir con la votación y la certificación en las próximas elecciones.

Resumen

One claim regarding the Justice Department under Attorney General Todd Blanche taking legal actions in two states on November 2, 2026, to address alleged voting irregularities was partially confirmed. The claim that on October 30, 2026, ProPublica reported the Trump administration pursued greater federal oversight of voting, targeted non-citizen voters, altered mail-in ballot rules, and reshaped election-related agencies as the 2025 midterm elections approached had insufficient evidence. The claim that on October 31, 2026, Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter sent letters to all states directing election officials to keep voting records for at least 22 months, citing potential criminal penalties for non-compliance as midterm elections approached also had insufficient evidence.
