US Supreme Court rejects Trump administration bid to set aside 20,000 California ballots
The US Supreme Court on Monday, 2 November, rejected the Trump administration's last-minute request to force California to set aside the mail ballots of about 20,000 people the federal government claims are likely noncitizens. The one-line, unsigned order gave no reasons and showed no dissents. Two lower courts had already refused, and California officials say the federal list is full of errors and could disenfranchise eligible US citizens.
