Trump’s bid to block California mail ballots over ‘non-citizens’ hits court roadblock

 A US appeals court denied the Trump administration’s request to prevent California from counting mail ballots from alleged ‘non-citizens’. This ruling is part of the administration’s ongoing efforts regarding voter eligibility and non-citizen voting. The Justice Department claimed some individuals on the voter list were charged with illegal voting. Voting rights activists expressed concern over potential misidentification of naturalised citizens as non-citizens. A US appeals court denied the Trump administration’s request to prevent California from counting mail ballots from alleged ‘non-citizens’.
