The Trump administration has turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch effort to block California from counting ballots from voters it alleges may be noncitizens, as the November election approaches. Lower courts have already dismissed the request, but the White House is pushing for an emergency intervention to challenge the state’s handling of voter eligibility. Legal experts warn the case could set a precedent for how ballot disputes are resolved in close races. The outcome could have significant implications for election integrity debates ahead of Election Day.
On the eve of the Nov. 3 election, the Trump administration is hoping the Supreme Court will reverse lower courts that rejected its request to order California to set aside the ballots of thousands of people it says are "likely" noncitizens.
