9th Circuit pushes back on DOJ over California mail ballots
Original: 9th Circuit questions DOJ demand to set aside 20,000 California mail ballots
A federal appeals court is questioning the Justice Department's demand that roughly 20,000 mail ballots cast in California be set aside. Judges on the 9th Circuit pressed on the legal basis for the request, which stems from a dispute over California's mail voting procedures. The case touches on election administration and federal-state authority, and the court's skepticism suggests the DOJ may struggle to have the ballots invalidated.
Why now: Federal litigation over mail ballots in a large state draws attention amid ongoing election disputes.
