Ninth Circuit Splits 6-5 on Election Day, Letting DOJ Resume Warnings to Election Workers. The Full Court Declined to Step In

In about a day, the Ninth Circuit issued four orders in SEIU v. Justice Department. A three-judge panel paused Judge Trina Thompson's order barring federal threats of prosecution against election workers. The court voted to rehear the case and wiped out that pause.
