U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Thursday ordered the Justice Department to disclose which states, beyond California and Washington, it sent letters demanding they set aside ballots of alleged noncitizens. He said he would rule by Monday on whether to bar more letters before the Nov. 3 midterms, unless the government says it won’t send any. The suit was brought by Democratic leaders.
