00:02The Justice Department is putting election officials across the country on notice,
00:07warning they could face criminal consequences over non-citizen voting.
00:12The letters signed by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dillon went to elections officials in all 50 states and Washington, D
00:19.C.
00:19The DOJ is giving states five days to explain how they will enforce federal voter eligibility laws
00:26and keep what it calls clean voter rolls.
00:30The Justice Department says elections officials could face criminal liability
00:34if they knowingly allow non-citizens to remain on voter rolls or help them receive or cast ballots.
00:40Voting by non-citizens in federal elections is already illegal.
00:44The dispute now centers on how much authority the federal government has to require states to share their voter data.
00:51The DOJ has sued 30 states and Washington, D.C. after they refused those requests.
00:56So far, federal courts have rejected several of the department's efforts.
