Federal Judge Declines to Order California to Set Aside Mail Ballots Flagged as Non-Citizens

A federal judge on Wednesday declined to order California election officials to set aside mail ballots from people the Trump administration claims are non-citizens. The Justice Department had sought an order to hold those ballots apart, a step called sequestering, pending citizenship review. The request rested on a 20,000-name list; Los Angeles officials found preliminary signs it was inaccurate.
