US District Court Judge David Carter, a Clinton appointee, denied the Justice Department’s effort to force California to remove 20,000 ballots mailed to non-citizens.

On Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court denied the government’s appeal because the DOJ improperly skipped over the district court judge so the DOJ was forced to attend a hearing on Tuesday with Judge David Carter. [snip] The Judge said that the Department of Justice can prosecute the individuals. “There is a clear remedy available. The United States can prosecute individuals according to Section 611, as it has historically and recently done. California also has established procedures to cancel the voter registrations of any individuals proven ineligible,” the judge wrote. [snip] “Eroded trust in our democracy is irreparable. Once a vote is segregated, lasting harm has occurred. If the Executive can discount votes and threaten an ongoing election due to unproven allegations, then our democracy is in danger,” the judge wrote. Earlier Wednesday before the judge issue his order denying the TRO, Bill Essayli said the DOJ is committed to seeking a court order to separate the 20,000 ballots.
