The US Supreme Court has rejected an emergency request by President Donald Trump's administration to separate thousands of ballots in the state of California in preparation for their possible exclusion, arguing that their owners may not be US citizens. The American CNN network reported that the court issued its decision only hours after the application was submitted, in one sentence, without explaining its reasons or registering any objection from the judges, and without requesting a response from the state of California or the other parties in the case.
