Warning of Midterm Risks
California Governor Gavin Newsom warned federal judges on Saturday that the Trump administration might seek court orders to seize ballots and related materials before the midterm election results are certified, potentially obstructing the lawful vote count. The warning comes amid a dispute over the Justice Department’s demand for election records as it investigates claims that more than 20,000 noncitizens registered to vote in the state. California and experts have questioned the list’s accuracy, and the department has not said how many of those listed actually voted. A federal appeals court rejected the administration’s request on Friday. In a separate case, a federal judge ordered the department to stop threatening election officials with prosecution if they did not comply with its demands.
