Supreme Court rejects Trump’s restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of midterms

The US Supreme Court has rejected restrictions on mail-in voting sought by President Donald Trump. According to El Pais English, the Court upheld a federal judge's decision to block the president's executive order, which would have jeopardized the votes of millions of people with less than two months to go before the midterm elections.

The Trump administration's efforts to disrupt mail voting had been challenged by state officials and voting rights organizations, who argued that the US Postal Service has no authority to unilaterally regulate election practices. The Supreme Court's decision, as reported by Hindustan Times - World News, allows mail voting in the midterm elections to proceed as usual.

The restrictions had been implemented by the US Postal Service, but were blocked by the Court's 7-2 vote to uphold a preliminary injunction. This decision is likely to remain in place through the November midterm elections.
