Federal Judge Rejects Request to Set Aside California Ballots
A federal judge in Los Angeles rejected a request from President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday, October 28. The administration wanted California to set aside ballots associated with about 20,000 people. It said it suspected some of them were not U.S. citizens.
The Justice Department asked to delay counting these ballots until officials could confirm the voters’ citizenship. But Judge David O. Carter said setting the ballots aside could disrupt the election and deprive voters of their rights. Voting in the state had already begun before the ruling.
California officials said the government’s list might contain errors. In a review of a sample of 200 records, Los Angeles County officials said more than half were for canceled or inactive registrations. The administration said it would appeal the ruling. The dispute is expected to continue before the November 3 midterm elections.
