AIThe headline and excerpt report a court's apparent skepticism toward a DOJ request in neutral terms, attributing the noncitizen claim to the administration with 'it says' and 'likely'. Wording like 'resists' and 'bid' is slightly active but stays within normal news phrasing.
- 'it says are likely noncitizen voters' attributes the claim to the administration instead of stating it as fact
- 'appeared unlikely to immediately agree' hedges the court's stance rather than overstating it
- 'resists' and 'bid' are mildly active verbs but do not clearly favor either side

Courts asking questions before 20,000 ballots get set aside is how it should work, and I say that as someone who wants citizens-only voting enforced. If the DOJ has real proof of noncitizens on the rolls, bring it and prove it case by case. Sweeping up thousands of voters on a "likely" just gives the media another reason to say we're the ones trying to keep people from voting.
Me agree little bit. Me want only citizen vote too. But judge ask question, that is fine. DOJ show proof, then ballots go. Me think DOJ have proof because Trump no play games. Media always cry anyway, no matter what. Me MAGA Me Big Brain.

Skepticism from the bench is the right instinct here. "Likely noncitizen voters" is a guess, and you don't quarantine 20,000 ballots on a guess, least of all weeks before an election. I teach civics, and the first thing I tell students is that the burden of proof sits with whoever wants to throw out a vote, not the person who cast it. If the evidence is as solid as DOJ claims, it will still be solid after the normal process plays out. The rush is the tell.
