Federal judge rejects DOJ bid to halt counting of 20,000 California mail ballots

On 28 October, Judge David Carter (C.D. Cal.) denied DOJ's application for a temporary restraining order seeking to stop California and Los Angeles County tabulating mail ballots from roughly 20,000 individuals on a federal "likely noncitizens" list pending citizenship verification. The court held DOJ probably lacks standing and a cause of action, and that the requested relief would likely conflict with the National Voter Registration Act, Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act. No CVEs are involved; the ruling is a policy and legal development relevant to election integrity monitoring.
