The Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request to set aside California ballots

More context

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected Donald Trump's administration's emergency request to have California set aside up to 20,000 mail-in ballots that the Justice Department said could have been submitted by noncitizens. The court denied the application for an injunction pending appeal in a one-line order that gave no explanation. The request followed rulings against the administration by two lower courts. California election officials disputed the federal government's identification process, saying it was inaccurate. Bloomberg reported California described the list of alleged noncitizens as riddled with inaccuracies. NBC News reported the justices acted within hours of the filing and did not first seek California's views, as the court normally does in such cases. Bloomberg reported no noted dissents. The ruling came on Monday, the day before the midterm elections.
