Trump Administration Petitions Supreme Court to Block California Mail-in Ballot Counting
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking to halt California from counting approximately 20,000 mail-in ballots. The DOJ contends that these specific voters may not be U.S. citizens, challenging the legality of their participation in the election. This legal maneuver follows a recent decision by the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which rejected the department's attempt to block a lower federal court injunction that had previously allowed the ballots to be counted. The petition arrives at a critical juncture, filed just one day before Election Day.
