Elections officials get mail-in voting clarity after Supreme Court decision
Voters and elections officials have more clarity around mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms. That came after the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration from imposing new restrictions on mail ballots. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Tammy Patrick of the National Association of Election Administrators.
The US Supreme Court has blocked a plan by the Trump administration to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms. This decision has provided clarity for voters and elections officials.
President Trump responded to the ruling by criticizing the Supreme Court justices he had appointed, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch, saying they had failed to show the courage necessary to support his plan. According to CBS News and New Straits Times, Trump denounced the justices for joining the ruling that nullified his attempt to restrict mail-in balloting.
The Supreme Court's decision was a blow to Trump's plan to limit mail-in voting, which he had claimed was vulnerable to fraud. The plan had prompted multiple legal challenges after Trump signed an executive order in March.
