Court Rejects Bid to Block California Vote Count
A federal appeals court refused to block California from counting mail-in ballots from voters questioned by the Trump administration. Judges warned that halting the count risked disenfranchising eligible voters ahead of the midterms.
A federal appeals court blocked the United States administration from halting California's count of over 20,000 midterm mail ballots on Friday, citing disenfranchisement risks. The 2-1 ruling arrives just days before the November 3 midterms as Republicans battle to retain congressional majorities. The decision centers on contested voter rolls targeting individuals alleged to be noncitizens.
