DOJ demands that some California counties set aside alleged noncitizen ballots

What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the story as Justice Department letters to California election officials demanding help identifying possible noncitizen voters, with CBS News and The Guardian also emphasizing instructions to set aside and verify ballots. The New York Times is the only one to highlight a warning of “significant federal scrutiny,” while NBC News alone says the letter was obtained by the outlet and presents the demand as cooperation with the administration or face potential legal action.
