US Supreme court rejects Trump request to set aside 20,000 California ballots

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on the Supreme Court turning back the Trump administration’s emergency California ballot request, with several also noting the 20,000-ballot figure and that the request came just before the election. The Los Angeles Times and New York Times frame it as a rejected bid to set aside ballots, while Fox News and CBS News foreground the administration’s effort to get the court to intervene. NPR uniquely emphasizes the dispute with California over voter rolls, and The Guardian and The Independent are the only ones to stress the court’s refusal to take up the request as a broader loss for Trump.
