Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Order to Separate California Mail-In Ballots
On the eve of the US midterm elections, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block California from counting over 20,000 mail-in ballots from voters suspected of being non-citizens. California officials dispute the reliability of the list and warn that separating ballots could disrupt the election. Lower courts rejected the administration's requests, but the Justice Department seeks to keep these ballots separate until voter citizenship can be verified. The case highlights tensions over election procedures in a key Democratic state.
