It's good to see US judges protecting voters from election interference: "A federal judge has barred the justice department from threatening or coercing election workers to stop processing ballots. The order issued late Friday also bars the justice department from demanding local election officials segregate or not count ballots that the federal government deems may have been cast by ineligible voters." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/30/justice-department-election-workers-ballots #USpol #elections #news
