  "summary": "The Trump administration has appealed to the Supreme Court in an effort to sideline thousands of disputed mail-in ballots in California. According to CBS News, the administration is seeking to force California to set aside ballots from thousands of individuals it claims are not U.S. citizens.\n\nThe Winnipeg Free Press reports that this appeal was made on Monday, one day before pivotal midterm elections. CNBC and CNBC World note that the Department of Justice's request regarding the California case comes as the department also appeals the dismissal of a lawsuit concerning the Senate election in Alaska.",
