  "account": "US President Donald Trump has harshly criticized the US Supreme Court after it rejected his request to lift restrictions on mail-in voting, accusing the court of failing to protect the nation and criticizing other recent decisions. In a post on Truth Social, Trump called the court's decision on mail-in voting a \"bad decision\" and a \"big loss for Republicans and America\". He alleged, without evidence, that the ruling would enable Democrats to engage in \"cheating\" through mail-in ballots. Trump praised Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who dissented from the majority, while criticizing the justices who supported it. The Supreme Court denied Trump's request on September 14, blocking his attempt to revive mail-in voting restrictions ahead of the November midterm elections. Only two of the court's six conservative justices dissented. Trump's March executive order aimed to restrict mail-in voting by requiring voter lists and directing the USPS to deliver ballots only to those on the list. The order faced legal challenges from Democratic-led states, arguing that the Constitution grants states broad authority over elections. Several states, including North Carolina, began sending mail-in ballots. Democratic leaders welcomed the ruling, while Trump attacked mail-in voting and accused Democrats of potential fraud.",
