The US Supreme Court denied an emergency request from the Trump administration to compel California to segregate approximately 20,000 mail-in ballots ahead of the mid-term elections. The federal government argued that these votes belonged to potential non-citizens and that counting them would cause irreparable harm to election integrity. Lower courts had previously rejected similar requests, citing significant errors in the data matching process used by the federal government to identify voters. The administration maintained that federal law prohibits foreign nationals from voting and invoked the Supremacy Clause to assert jurisdiction over state election procedures.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an emergency request by the Trump administration to block approximately 20,000 mail-in ballots in California ahead of the election. The Department of Justice had argued that these votes were cast by non-citizens, but lower federal courts previously denied similar requests, citing state authority over election procedures under the Constitution. California authorities challenged the reliability of the federal list identifying potential non-citizen voters, noting technical difficulties in separating specific ballots during processing. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the federal intervention, describing the president as corrupt and announcing plans to deploy legal teams and observers to protect voting rights. This ruling marks another setback for the administration’s efforts to intervene in the state’s election process.
