πŸ—³οΈ ELECTION DAY: FEDERAL MONITORS AT SOCAL POLLS. The U.S. Justice Department says it is sending election monitors to all 50 states for the first time today, and its California list includes Los Angeles and San Diego, along with Alameda and Sacramento. πŸ“Œ What to know: β€’ The DOJ calls it the largest monitoring effort in its history, with about 1,000 monitors and observers nationwide, coordinated by its Civil Rights Division. In a court hearing Monday, an official estimated the number was closer to 900. β€’ DOJ says its staff will stay in contact with state and local election officials throughout the day. β€’ San Diego County Registrar Shawn Brom told KPBS his office expects at least eight teams of federal monitors at local polling places. πŸ—³οΈ For voters: vote centers are open until 8 PM tonight. If you're in line by 8, you can still vote, and you can register and vote the same day at a vote center.

βš–οΈ UPDATE: SUPREME COURT REJECTS BALLOT BID. On Monday (Nov. 2), the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Justice Department's emergency request to make California and Los Angeles County set aside mail ballots from about 20,000 people the federal government flagged as likely noncitizens. πŸ“Œ What to know: β€’ The order was brief and unsigned, with no noted dissents. The request went first to Justice Elena Kagan, who referred it to the full court. β€’ It follows denials last week from U.S. District Judge David Carter and a Ninth Circuit panel. Judge Carter said the government's process for identifying the voters was "rife with uncertainty and errors." β€’ Separately on Monday, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles announced charges against six LA County green card holders accused of making false statements on naturalization applications after allegedly registering and voting. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. πŸ—³οΈ For voters: nothing changes. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and vote centers are open 7 AM to 8 PM.

βš–οΈ BALLOT FIGHT GOES TO THE SUPREME COURT: On Monday (Nov. 2), the U.S. Justice Department filed an emergency application asking the Supreme Court to order California and Los Angeles County to set aside mail ballots from more than 20,000 people the federal government suspects are not U.S. citizens, until their citizenship can be verified. πŸ“Œ What to know: β€’ The DOJ sent California's secretary of state and LA County Registrar Dean Logan a list of about 20,000 names and asked that their ballots not be counted yet. State and county officials have raised concerns about the list's accuracy and the risk of turning away eligible voters. β€’ U.S. District Judge David Carter denied the request last week, and a Ninth Circuit panel also denied it, 2-1, on Friday. β€’ The application (No. 26A624) went to Justice Elena Kagan. As of this post, the Supreme Court has not ruled. β€’ More than 6 million mail ballots had already been returned statewide as of Sunday, per the California secretary of state. πŸ—³οΈ Nothing changes for voters right now: Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and vote centers are open 7 AM to 8 PM. We'll update when the court acts.

βš–οΈ PALISADES FIRE RETRIAL BEGINS: Jury selection was set to begin today (Mon., Nov. 2) in downtown LA federal court in the retrial of Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man prosecutors allege started the fire that grew into the Palisades Fire. πŸ“Œ What to know: β€’ Prosecutors allege he maliciously started a brush fire near the Skull Rock Trailhead on Jan. 1, 2025 (the Lachman Fire), which they say smoldered and reignited days later as the Palisades Fire. β€’ His first trial ended in June with a hung jury, and the judge declared a mistrial. β€’ Prosecutors retried him under a revised grand jury indictment. He has pleaded not guilty, and his defense says he was wrongly accused. β€’ The Palisades Fire killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes and structures. β€’ The court lists the trial at an estimated 7 to 14 days before U.S. District Judge Anne Hwang. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
