The U.S. Justice Department sued California, seeking to block the state from counting mail-in ballots from about 20,000 voters the federal government identified as "likely" noncitizens in next month's midterm elections. The lawsuit follows a demand that state election officials review a list of possible noncitizens within 48 hours, which California officials rejected.

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
