The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a federal judge blocked new restrictions on mail ballots before the midterm elections. This legal battle arises as states begin mailing ballots, with North Carolina already sending them out and more states following soon. The administration argues that the restrictions are necessary to regulate mail voting, while opponents claim they are unconstitutional and disruptive. The Supreme Court has allowed the plan to proceed but hasn’t decided on its legality. This issue is significant because nearly one-third of U.S. voters use mail ballots, and the outcome could impact control of Congress.
