- A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from threatening election workers with criminal prosecution for counting ballots cast by registered voters the administration claims are ineligible.
- The emergency order was issued four days before the midterms, placing the court's intervention in the closing days before Election Day.
Why it matters: Election workers gain a judicial bar on criminal-prosecution threats over counting ballots from registered voters the administration says are ineligible. Issued four days before the midterms, the order directly constrains DOJ's election-related enforcement at the closest point to Election Day.
