Trump administration asks Supreme Court to block some California ballots

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to block some California mail-in ballots, according to the Financial Times. The Korea Times reported the emergency appeal was filed on Monday, the day before the midterm elections, after an appeals court rejected a request to set aside about 20,000 ballots. DW News said the administration argues the list includes non-US citizens, while noting that multiple courts and independent analysis have rejected those claims. Al Jazeera English reported that California says moving to block ballots from suspected noncitizens could disenfranchise eligible voters. The sources agree on the core request but differ on how the ballot count and the rejection of the claims are described. Summary from 4 sources

Sources differ: The Financial Times describes the request as covering some ballots, while the Korea Times, DW News and Al Jazeera English give a figure of about 20,000.
