Appeals court rejects Trump admin's voting lawsuit against California

A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel on Monday rejected a request from the Justice Department for an immediate order demanding California segregate roughly 20,000 mail-in ballots from individuals the Trump administration claims are likely non-citizens.

The 2-1 ruling from the panel said the appeals court lacks jurisdiction at this stage in the litigation, punting it back to district court which has a hearing set for Tuesday afternoon on the DOJ's lawsuit.
