Appeals court hears arguments in Trump admin's voting suit against California

Appeals court hearing on Trump administration voting lawsuit against California signals ongoing legal conflict.

What happened: A federal appeals court scheduled a Sunday hearing in the Justice Department's voting lawsuit against California, after the Trump administration appealed, saying a district judge did not act quickly enough. Key numbers: Arguments set for 1 p.m. PDT Sunday. About 20,000 potential noncitizen voters alleged on the state's voter rolls. DOJ announced charges against roughly 28 individuals from the list. Why it matters: The three-judge panel includes two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee. California officials say the list is unverified and includes lawful voters.
