Supreme Court blocks Trump administration’s new mail ballot requirements in 7-2 ruling
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, blocked the Trump administration’s executive order imposing new mail-in ballot requirements, including a USPS rule requiring voter registration in a new portal. The Court found the government unlikely to succeed on the merits and that states lacked time to implement changes. The ruling prevents disruption to midterm elections, with nearly one-third of Americans voting by mail. The USPS subsequently halted work on the voter list system.
