Judge rules federal government cannot force Washington to set aside disputed ballots3 publishers · first seen Thu, 05 Nov 2026 20:06 UTC · updated Sun, 08 Nov 2026 20:41 UTCThe U.S. Department of Justice has dropped its lawsuit seeking to prevent California from counting approximately 20,000 ballots that it alleged were cast by noncitizens. This decision comes after courts, including the Supreme Court, rejected the Trump administration's attempts to separate these ballots. The Justice Department cited the imminent mixing of the disputed ballots with others as the reason for the dismissal, stating that the requested relief was no longer feasible. The lawsuit, filed in October, claimed that California had not sufficiently investigated a federal list identifying over 20,000 registered voters as potentially ineligible due to their citizenship status. California officials have disputed the list's accuracy and argued that the administration's demands could disenfranchise eligible voters.Content auto-generated. May contain inaccuracies.
