The world, in perspective.

The Justice Department called on election officials in Washington state to requester some 400 ballots it says may belong to noncitizen voters.

Federal prosecutors said they sent a letter to the Washington secretary of state with a list of 400 people they claimed are not U.S. citizens.

Federal prosecutors sent letters to county registrars across California demanding that local officials set aside and verify ballots that the Justice Department said may belong to noncitizens.

It's the last full day of campaigning in British Columbia's election ahead of final voting day Saturday, when most ballots will be counted by hand.
