US appeals court again rejects Trump bid to set aside California ballots
The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has again rejected a request to remove 20,000 ballots from California's vote count. The court called the petition unconstitutional.
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, a federal appeals court, has again rejected an effort to set aside about 20,000 ballots in California's vote count. The bid was made by US President Donald Trump. The ruling means the ballots in question remain part of the state's total.
In its decision, the court described the petition to remove these ballots as unconstitutional. The headline stresses that this is not the first time such an attempt has been turned down.
The source text gives no further details. It does not say which ballots were challenged, on what grounds their exclusion was sought, or which election is involved. It also does not say whether Trump's side intends to appeal the ruling further.
