Trump asks Supreme Court about mail-in voting
LATEST Trump makes third Supreme Court appeal on mail-in ballot restrictions
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow new restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections. This is the third time the administration has appealed to the Supreme Court on this matter, seeking to lift a federal judge's order that blocked new Postal Service limits on mail-in ballots.
NOW PLAYING BREAKING: Trump asks Supreme Court AGAIN to clear way for MAJOR voter suppression effort
The Trump administration has again petitioned the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the midterms. Lawyers are asking the justices to permit a new rule that would prevent the U.S. Postal Service from delivering ballots to states that do not share voter data with the federal agency, and would require the agency to check ballot envelopes for compliance before accepting them.
This effort could significantly disrupt mail-in voting in key states, potentially impacting a substantial portion of the electorate and creating widespread confusion and uncertainty about how to vote.
