Trump scores Supreme Court win on mail-in voting restrictions before midterms
The Supreme Court’s order clears the Trump administration to immediately enforce revised mail-ballot restrictions in 23 states ahead of November’s midterms.
The Supreme Court on Monday handed the Trump administration a victory, allowing it to enforce President Donald Trump’s "election integrity" executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms.
The high court lifted an injunction that had blocked the order in 23 states that challenged it after the administration appealed in July; Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department said they would immediately implement the revised mail-ballot restrictions after the ruling.
The decision appears to leave room for additional court challenges that could further slow Trump’s order.
