The ruling comes amid an election in which officials are expecting to see an unprecedented number of mailed and dropped-off ballots as voters look for ways to avoid going to polling centers, where the coronavirus could spread. Polster's ruling makes him the latest judge to say that claims of election fraud are unsubstantiated:"It is even easier to reject the Secretary's second justification.
