Appeals court resists DOJ’s bid to immediately segregate 20k California ballots

A federal appeals court expressed skepticism regarding a DOJ bid to immediately segregate 20,000 California ballots. The Trump administration claims these ballots likely belong to noncitizen voters. During a rare Sunday hearing, U.S. Circuit Judge Mark Bennett questioned the court's jurisdiction over the matter and appeared unlikely to agree that a trial judge needs to accelerate the process. The DOJ initiated the lawsuit to challenge the integrity of California voter rolls before the election.
