  "account": "On the eve of the midterm elections, the U.S. Supreme Court swiftly rejected President Donald Trump's effort to interfere in California's mail-in ballot tally. Within just six hours and 24 minutes, the justices disbanded the administration's request to halt California from counting ballots from over 20,000 voters suspected of being non-U.S. citizens. The court provided no justification for their decision and there were no recorded disagreements among the justices.",
