Sun International Desk: The Trump administration is in court over the US election process and voter registration practices. The Trump administration's legal battle to ban the state's voter rolls, alleging that non-citizens are also registering as voters in the state of California, has faced a setback in federal court.
The judge dismissed the petition filed by the administration as violating local laws and constitutional voting rights. Trump's team has strongly argued that unqualified people or immigrants are illegally participating in the voting process in California and that it should be stopped immediately. However, the petitioners and state government advocates reported to the court that there was no strong evidence to support these allegations and that the state election commission was preparing the voter list as per the rules. After examining the arguments of both sides, the Federal Court made it clear that the central government's unwarranted interference in the autonomy of state elections is not justified.
The verdict comes at a time when issues of voter list cleansing and citizenship verification are creating intense political tension in the wake of the upcoming elections in the United States. The legal battle between the central and state governments over the conduct of elections in large states like California has become a topic of discussion across the country. Although the state government got a temporary reprieve from the court's ruling, the Trump administration's accusations against the integrity of the elections are causing a lot of political uproar.
