Federal judge blocks DOJ attempt to halt California mail ballot count

Federal judge blocks DOJ attempt to halt California mail ballot count

U. S. District Judge David O. Carter on 29 October denied the Justice Department’s request for a temporary restraining order that would have halted the counting of more than 20,000 California mail-in ballots alleged to be cast by non-citizens. The ruling follows a series of legal challenges by the Trump administration. Earlier in October, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.

S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the department’s emergency appeal to suspend the ballots and sent the case back to the district court. California Attorney General Rob Bonta had condemned the DOJ directive as politicized, while First Assistant U. S. Attorney Bill Essayli warned that non-citizen voting was likely and urged the Ninth Circuit to set aside the disputed ballots. Butte County clerk-recorder Keaton Denlay also said the DOJ’s list of alleged non-citizen voters contained numerous errors.

摘要

Both claims analyzed have insufficient evidence for verification. The claim regarding a ruling by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court on October 25, 2026, lacks enough evidence to confirm or refute it. The assertion that on October 28, 2026, Butte County clerk-recorder Keaton Denlay said a Department of Justice letter included a poorly formatted list of 47 alleged non-citizen voters with multiple errors also has insufficient evidence for confirmation.
