> The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s request for a second time, ruling that setting aside 20,000 California ballots would violate the Constitution and could disenfranchise eligible voters. The administration says the ballots involve likely non-citizens, but the accuracy of its list has been questioned.
