The DOJ Ran to the Supreme Court Over California Ballots
With hours left before voting wrapped up, the Trump administration decided it was the perfect time for an emergency ballot hunt.
Right before the election, the federal government showed up at the Supreme Court with an urgent plea. Lower judges had already laughed them out of the room, but the DOJ wasn't giving up.
The plan was to force California to quarantine thousands of cast ballots based on a hunch. Specifically, the administration argued that thousands of registered voters were "likely" noncitizens and demanded their votes be shoved into a separate pile just in case.
Telling election workers to start sidelining voter ballots on the eve of an election based entirely on the word "likely" is quite the bold legal strategy.
