Bay Area judge blocks Trump voter fraud operation in California, 8 other states

An Oakland federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to stop interrogating people they have identified as potentially fraudulent voters using databases that have been proven unreliable and could ensnare U.S. citizens. The order by U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín on Wednesday blocks DHS from “conducting elections-related field operations and field interviews in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.” It also blocks federal agents from conducting operations in those states based on certain records generated as part of a massive effort to generate lists of potential fraudulent voters.
