US appeals court rejects renewed bid to set aside California ballots

A divided Ninth Circuit panel on Friday rejected the Trump administration’s renewed effort to set aside 20,000 California ballots, Al Jazeera reported. The majority said the request would violate the US Constitution and risk disenfranchising eligible voters. A judge dissented. The ruling concerns the administration’s effort to separate those ballots from the count; it does not establish that the voters were non-citizens. [1]
