California voters rejected a ballot measure that would have required people to prove their citizenship in order to vote under Proposition 39.

The final day of voting in this year’s midterm elections arrived Tuesday against a backdrop of uncertainty after a year in which President Donald Trump has tried to interfere in how states run their elections and sown doubts about the outcome should Republicans lose.

As of Tuesday morning, more than 1.5 million eligible voters had cast their ballots in Oregon, and election officials said turnout could reach historic highs by Tuesday night.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a push for California to set aside thousands of mail ballots from people President Donald Trump’s administration claims are noncitizens, a decision that comes on the eve of the pivotal midterm elections.

After years of criticizing the practice of turning in ballots on behalf of sympathetic voters, GOP leaders are beginning to see it as a tool they can use to help boost the party's candidates.

A federal appeals court on Friday denied a Trump administration demand that California set aside and not count the ballots of 20,000 suspected noncitizen voters, setting the stage for a possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Federal officials delivered a subpoena to Orange County Registrar of Voters’s office on Thursday.

Oregon’s top election official is encouraging voters to mail their ballot by the end of the day Tuesday, and to vote via a secure drop box after that.

The Trump administration charged 28 immigrants with allegedly illegally voting or registering to vote in California in its latest push to hunt down voter fraud. Such cases are exceedingly rare and not proof elections are fraudulent.

The Trump administration is demanding records from Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties as it looks for instances of noncitizens voting.
