Supreme Court Blocks Trump Mail-In Ballot Order Ahead of Midterms
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration’s emergency request to reinstate new U.S. Postal Service rules on mail-in ballots. The rules would have required states to submit voter lists and allowed the Postal Service to refuse delivery of ballots not on those lists. A lower-court nationwide injunction remains in place. Justices Thomas and Alito dissented; Justice Kavanaugh concurred that the government was unlikely to succeed on the merits at this stage.
