Election Worker Unions Win TRO; CHIRLA Gets DOJ List

A federal judge in California gave the SEIU and AFL-CIO, which represent California election workers, the temporary restraining order they asked for Friday evening. Judge Trina Thompson skipped the hearing and didn't wait on DOJ's response. Back home, a judge who rules that fast has either made up his mind or wants to be at the lake by Saturday. The unions want DOJ to stop making them segregate ballots from likely noncitizens and stop threatening prosecution. NAACP and LULAC are plaintiffs too. Separately, Judge Boasberg ordered DOJ to give CHIRLA a list of about 20,000 likely noncitizens on California's voter rolls, according to RedState. Twenty thousand names is a lot to read, and I expect the press cares more about the timing than the names.
