Donald Trump says "Why would they reject fixing Election Fraud?" as court rules against his effort

President Donald Trump complained on social media about court rulings that halted his administration’s push to have California election officials set aside ballots tied to 20,930 people the Justice Department flagged over citizenship status. He defended the effort and objected to the judicial rejections. A Saturday filing by UCLA analysts working with an immigrant-rights group said 8,880 of those names, about 42%, did not appear in California’s voter registration records, that at least 22 corresponded to U.S. citizens, and that thousands of citizens appeared wrongly flagged. The filing came after a federal judge on Friday ordered the department to stop pressing state officials; the administration appealed Saturday. The dispute centers on whether the federal list is accurate enough for use in running elections and whether the government’s demands are lawful.
