Trump administration appeals to Supreme Court to sideline disputed California mail ballots
The Justice Department filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court after an appeals court declined to set aside roughly 20,000 California mail ballots from people federal officials say may not be U.S. citizens. The move came the day before the pivotal midterm elections as President Trump made a closing campaign appearance at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
President Donald Trump’s administration appealed to the Supreme Court on Monday in its push to sideline thousands of disputed California mail ballots the day before the pivotal midterm elections.
