The Trump administration is seeking the Supreme Court’s help to lift a block on a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plan that aims to restrict mail-in voting for the midterm elections. Currently, a federal judge in Boston has temporarily halted key parts of this plan. Despite this, mail-in voting remains available to eligible voters, and USPS is expected to deliver ballots as usual. The plan would require states to provide voter information to USPS and use specific barcodes on ballot envelopes. However, experts argue it’s too late to implement these changes without causing disruptions. Critics claim the plan is illegal, as USPS lacks authority over mail-in voting. The Supreme Court has yet to make a final decision on the matter.
