Judge rejects Trump DoJ bid to set aside 20,000 California ballots

US district judge David Carter has refused to order California officials to segregate and not count ballots from about 20,000 people the Trump administration claimed were non-citizens. The justice department had handed officials in Los Angeles and Sacramento a USB drive with the names. California has over 23 million registered voters, and Carter said the government was trying to coerce states on the eve of an election.
