On September 14 local time, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily rejected mail-in voting restrictions proposed by the Trump administration. With midterm election voting already underway, this decision allows states to continue sending out mail-in ballots using procedures they have followed for years. The Trump administration had asked the Supreme Court to allow the restrictions to take effect before the November congressional elections, noting that nearly one-third of U.S. voters cast their ballots by mail. On March 31, President Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state and submit it to the states, based on citizenship and naturalization records and other federal databases. The executive order also required the U.S. Postal Service to deliver ballots only to voters included on lists of approved mail-in ballot recipients provided by the states. The report was sourced from CCTV News via Cailian Press on September 15.
