The US Supreme Courtroom has rejected a last-minute request by the Trump administration asking it to intervene in California’s midterm election vote rely.
The justice division wished 20,000 ballots to be put aside that it alleged might have been issued to non-US residents within the state.

The Supreme Courtroom introduced its choice in a one-line order, saying it was denying the justice division’s request for an injunction.
“The applying for injunction pending enchantment offered to Justice Kagan and by her referred to the Courtroom is denied,” it reads.
Its means rulings made in decrease courts will stand and basically ends the Trump administration’s bid to disqualify the ballots.
