The Supreme Court has rejected President Trump’s attempt to impose new mail-in voting restrictions for the midterm elections. This decision means the U.S. Postal Service will continue delivering ballots without the proposed changes, which included requiring states to provide voter lists and specific barcodes on ballot envelopes. A federal judge had already blocked these requirements, ruling that the Postal Service lacks the authority to control mail-in voting. The Supreme Court’s decision keeps this injunction in place, with some justices expressing concerns about the timing and potential confusion the changes could cause. Despite Trump’s claims of preventing illegal voting, no evidence of widespread mail-voting fraud has been presented. This ruling ensures that mail-in voting can proceed smoothly in states where it is already underway or soon to begin.
