Trump administration appeals to Supreme Court in California mail ballots case | AP News

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block the counting of about 20,000 disputed California mail ballots the day before the midterm elections. The federal government suspects the voters may not be citizens and wants the ballots set aside while the case proceeds. Lower courts have sided with California, whose officials say the list is unreliable and that separating ballots now would be logistically impossible. A divided appeals court rejected the request before the emergency appeal.
