Ein Bundesberufungsgericht hat einen Antrag des US-Justizministeriums abgewiesen, der die Trennung von Wahlzetteln in Kalifornien forderte. Das Ministerium argumentierte, dass einige Stimmen möglicherweise von Nichtstaatsbürgern stammen könnten, die nicht wahlberechtigt sind. Das Gericht entschied jedoch, dass es nicht über den Antrag entscheiden konnte, da ein niedriges Bundesgericht nicht genügend Zeit hatte, um die Angelegenheit vor der Wahl am 3. November zu prüfen. Zwei Richter wiesen darauf hin, dass das Ministerium zu lange gewartet hatte, während ein anderer Richter die Notwendigkeit betonte, Bundeswahlen zu schützen.
