US DOJ Withdraws Lawsuit Challenging California Mail-In Ballots Post-Election

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has withdrawn its lawsuit challenging approximately 20,000 California mail-in ballots and the state's mail-in voting system. This action follows the Supreme Court's denial of the Trump administration's appeal, effectively ending the federal legal challenge to California's election procedures. The withdrawal indicates a cessation of the federal government's legal efforts regarding this specific election dispute.
