Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Bid to Exclude 20,000 California Mail Ballots
The Trump administration has issued subpoenas and legal actions targeting alleged noncitizen voting ahead of the US midterm elections, focusing on states including California, Texas, and Georgia. A federal judge rejected the Justice Department's request to block over 20,000 California mail-in ballots flagged as potentially from noncitizens, citing risks of disenfranchisement and election disruption. The administration maintains the effort addresses election integrity, while critics argue the claims are unsubstantiated and threaten voter rights. Legal challenges and appeals are ongoing as the midterms approach.
