Supreme Court blocks Trump’s plan to restrict mail-in ballots

The US Supreme Court has blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to restrict mail-in voting before the midterm elections. The court upheld a federal judge's order temporarily blocking the US Postal Service from implementing new requirements for postal ballots. Legal experts praised the decision, arguing it prevented chaos in the elections.

The ruling is not likely to be the final word on the matter, as Justice Kavanaugh suggested he might rule in Trump's favor later in the litigation. The decision follows Trump's executive order in March directing the USPS to deliver ballots only to voters on lists of citizens, a move challenged on constitutional grounds by legal challenges and election officials from Democratic-led states.

Despite the setback, Trump has continued to push for restrictions on mail-in voting, citing claims of fraud.
