US Supreme Court blocks Trump's attempt to restrict mail voting for midterms
The US Supreme Court thwarts the president's attempt to limit absentee voting in November's midterm elections.
The US Supreme Court has blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to limit mail-in voting ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The court's decision overturns a Trump executive order that would have imposed new rules on the US Postal Service, which several states had warned would be impossible to implement before the elections.
The ruling does not necessarily kill the plan, but it does prevent the new rules from being implemented before the midterm elections, in which Trump's Republican party is expected to lose control of Congress. The court's decision was not unanimous, with justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting.
