Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration to Halt Noncitizen Voting Investigations in Nine States

A federal judge in California has ordered the Trump administration to halt investigations in nine states into whether noncitizens are registered to vote. The U.S. District Court Judge found the government's effort relies on erroneous data and could intimidate groups assisting voters. The ruling applies to investigations in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin, and is to remain in effect until polls close on Election Day, November 3.
