The Justice Department sought an emergency order.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's push
for California to set aside thousands of ballots
from people the federal government claims are non-citizens.
The case involved 20,000 people the Republican administration flagged
on the largely Democratic state's voter rolls.
Several lower courts also rejected
the Justice Department's push to set aside the ballots until
the voters' citizenship status could be verified.
