Trump DOJ sues California to block counting 20,000 mail-in ballots over citizenship checks

The Trump administration filed suit against California and two election officials, seeking to prevent roughly 20,000 mail-in ballots from being counted until voter citizenship is verified. The DOJ alleges state-facilitated voter fraud, a claim California disputes. This escalates federal-state conflict over election administration ahead of November, with potential to disenfranchise voters and set legal precedent.
