U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump’s mail ballot curbs for midterms
Monday's ruling came after North Carolina and Alabama began mailing ballots to voters and many more states prepared to do the same in the coming days.
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied President Donald Trump's administration's request to allow the Postal Service to impose new restrictions on mail-in ballots for the upcoming congressional midterms. This decision comes after North Carolina and Alabama began mailing thousands of ballots to voters, with many more states preparing to do the same in the coming days.
The court's ruling follows a last-minute legal battle and uncertainty about whether states would need to change their plans for the November 3 election, during which Republicans are defending their narrow majority in Congress.
