A judge has rejected an attempt by Trump administration officials to block or isolate California ballots over noncitizen voting claims, according to reports from The New York Times and Al Jazeera. The New York Times noted that the ruling concluded no urgent intervention was required, representing another hurdle in the administration's efforts against noncitizen voting.
The legal setback occurs as the federal government expands its scrutiny elsewhere, with Al Jazeera reporting that officials have distributed upwards of 100 subpoenas across 13 states to investigate claims of noncitizens casting ballots.
