The US Supreme Court refused to intervene in the vote counting in California

The U.S. Supreme Court denied President Trump's request to block California from counting up to 20,000 mail-in ballots for the congressional elections. The Justice Department argued these ballots were likely cast by non-citizens. The court made a swift decision without seeking California's input, which is unusual. This ruling came just before the elections, where Trump’s Republicans may lose their majority in Congress. California officials criticized the Justice Department's claims as unreliable, asserting many voters are citizens. A federal judge previously barred the Trump administration from preventing voting by individuals deemed non-citizens.
