US midterm elections: Supreme Court temporarily allows Trump's mail-in voting plans
Just before the parliamentary election, the Republican US President wants to change the rules. Critics suspect that Trump's postal voting plans are intended to specifically disadvantage democratic voters.
The US Supreme Court has lifted a temporary block on President Donald Trump's plans to tighten rules for mail-in voting, allowing the government to proceed with the plans ahead of the midterm elections. The court's decision, made with a 6-3 majority, does not constitute a final ruling on the constitutionality of Trump's plans. Trump's order, issued in March, would require the US Postal Service to only deliver mail-in voting materials to individuals on state voter lists.
The move has been criticized as an attempt to disadvantage Democratic voters, who are more likely to vote by mail. The midterm elections are set to take place on November 3.
