(opens the publisher’s site)A California federal judge ordered the Trump administration to suspend noncitizen voting investigations in nine states until polls close on November 3.
- US District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín paused her ruling until Friday for appeal, citing unreliable voter data and intimidation of voter-assistance groups.
- The Justice Department plans to send about 1,000 federal monitors to polling sites; civil rights groups have sued, calling the move potentially intimidating.
- The administration has not ruled out stationing immigration agents at polling places, and senators Chuck Schumer and Alex Padilla released a whistleblower report on the probe.
- Republican committees spent $137 million on coordinated campaign spending from July to September, compared with $55 million for Democrats, financial disclosures show.
