Supreme Court Rejects Trump Administration's Bid to Set Aside Thousands of California Ballots

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration's request to compel California election officials to set aside thousands of mail ballots from individuals alleged to be non-citizens. This decision, made on the eve of the midterm elections, upholds lower court rulings that found the federal government likely exceeded its constitutional authority by attempting to impose new election procedures. A federal judge also issued a preliminary injunction blocking the administration's demands for California to segregate ballots.
