The Trump administration has submitted an emergency request asking the Supreme Court to direct California to segregate thousands of mail-in ballots, according to reports from The New York Times and NPR.
The New York Times reported that government attorneys are asking the justices to order 20,000 ballots set aside. According to NPR, the legal maneuver comes just ahead of the Nov. 3 election and seeks to overturn decisions by lower courts that turned down the administration's bid to separate ballots from voters it alleges are "likely" noncitizens.
