Rule Changes

Granted a two-week restraining order against DOJ and DHS on November 5, 2026

The Justice Department sent California and Los Angeles County a list of about 20,000 registered voters on October 13 and asked officials to set aside their ballots. Both refused. On November 4, an 11-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled 6-5 that the department may keep asking, and may keep warning that counting a challenged ballot is a federal crime.
