  "account": "On Sunday, the Trump administration submitted an urgent request to the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on mail-in voting for the upcoming November 3 congressional elections. This move followed a Friday injunction by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston, which temporarily halted the implementation of a new rule by the U.S. Postal Service. Several states have already commenced sending postal ballots for the midterm elections. The administration's solicitor general, John Sauer, argued before the Supreme Court that maintaining the injunction would cause confusion and chaos as additional states issue mail ballots. The Supreme Court granted Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson until Wednesday to respond to the administration's request. The Supreme Court is expected to ultimately decide on the validity of these mail-in voting restrictions.",
