Supreme Court allows Trump mail-voting order to proceed ahead of midterms
The Supreme Court granted preliminary approval to President Trump's executive order restricting mail voting, allowing it to move forward even though it may not immediately alter any state's election procedures before November. The ruling has instead created widespread uncertainty for the roughly one-third of American voters who typically cast ballots by mail.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Even without concrete rule changes yet, the legal ambiguity itself can suppress turnout and complicate election administration just weeks before voters go to the polls. States, election officials and voters now face a scramble to determine what, if anything, changes in how mail ballots are processed and counted.
- SCOTUS gave preliminary approval to Trump's mail voting order
