A federal judge in California has ordered the Trump administration to stop investigating whether noncitizens are registered to vote in nine states. The Guardian and ABC News both reported the order.
The Guardian reports that U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, sitting in Oakland, found the government's effort relies on data riddled with errors. She also found it is leading to intimidation of groups that help people with voting, according to the Guardian.
The Guardian reports she said the halt should stay in place until polls close on election day, 3 November.
