Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan blocked the Justice and Homeland Security departments from sending election officials lists of people suspected of being noncitizens and setting aside their ballots for investigation. She found that the administration may have violated privacy laws and lacked the legal authority to distribute the lists. The ruling came shortly before the midterm elections, after the Supreme Court rejected the administration’s efforts to set aside ballots in California linked to a list of 20,000 people. The moves prompted warnings that databases could wrongly classify eligible citizens as noncitizens. Other court rulings have also limited the departments’ ability to require states to set aside ballots, remove voters from the rolls, or change election procedures.
