Trump administration ends disputed ballots lawsuit against California

详细摘要

The DOJ remains enmeshed in litigation with immigrant and voting rights groups seeking to limit its use of the list of what is says are suspected noncitizens.

The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday moved to dismiss its own lawsuit that sought to stop California from counting roughly 20,000 ballots it alleged went to noncitizens until their immigration status could be verified.

The request to dismiss the case comes days after Republicans' significant losses in the midterm elections and about a week before a scheduled hearing where a special master was slated to evaluate the accuracy of the list.

The case was at the forefront of President Donald Trump's administration's effort to assert control over state-run elections across the country, which Trump has said are rife with illegal voting without providing evidence.
