Supreme Court rejects Trump bid to set aside 20,000 California ballots
The US Supreme Court on Monday refused an emergency request from the Trump administration. The Justice Department had asked it to make California set aside more than 20,000 mail ballots. It claims the voters are not citizens. Judges in California and Alaska have also ruled against administration moves on elections.
Why it matters
California's ballots will be counted in the midterms, which decide control of Congress.
Background
The Justice Department says some mail voters are non-citizens. California officials dispute this. The vote on Tuesday could shift control of Congress.
