The US Supreme Court rejected a Justice Department effort to set aside thousands of California midterm election ballots.
The US Supreme Court has turned down a request by the Department of Justice under the Trump administration to force California to set aside thousands of ballots in the midterm elections.
Federal officials had sought judicial intervention following ongoing claims from President Donald Trump regarding alleged voting by noncitizens. The high court's decision leaves the state's election outcomes unchanged, delivering a clear legal setback to the administration's attempts to challenge vote counts.
