PoliticsJudge rejects Trump DOJ bid to set aside 20,000 California ballots

A federal judge refused to require California election officials to segregate ballots tied to people the Trump administration claimed were non-citizens. The Justice Department said a list identified 20,000 such voters, but Los Angeles officials found preliminary signs it was inaccurate. The judge called the request legally thin and defended California’s authority over its election procedures.
