DOJ asks appeals court to step in on California mail ballots

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Justice Department delivered twenty thousand names to Los Angeles County on a flash drive, and the password was on a Post-it note.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich is a very secure, human-centered, analog-forward password solution.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNow, The Hill reports the department asked the Ninth Circuit on Thursday to block California from counting more than twenty thousand mail-in ballots it claims came from non-citizens.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd California says those accusations are unsupported.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe department says twenty-eight people accused of not being citizens were charged, and the deputy attorney general says the twenty-eight appear on that list.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwenty-eight out of twenty thousand. I'd call that a highly focused enforcement pilot.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIs that a lot?

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a ratio, Chip, and we're being thorough about it.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe department gave California officials forty-eight hours to set the ballots aside before suing, and the Los Angeles County clerk, Dean Logan, said the process would break numerous other election laws.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA judge has set a hearing on an emergency order, and the ballots keep arriving. Meanwhile, I'd call a Post-it a secure, low-tech, human-centered password solution.
