The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) requested on Friday to dismiss its lawsuit against California, which sought to discard approximately 20,000 disputed ballots in the state's elections. These ballots belonged to individuals who, according to the federal government, were not U.S. citizens.

The DOJ's lawsuit was initiated following the Trump administration's efforts to influence the election process. In this lawsuit, the department sought to discard ballots that appeared to be illegal. However, the Supreme Court issued an emergency order before Election Day, ruling against this action and preventing its enforcement.
