The Supreme Court won’t allow midterm mail-in voting limits : NPR
NPR • • general
Key Points:
- The Supreme Court rejected President Trump's attempt to impose new mail-in voting restrictions for the midterm elections, allowing the U.S. Postal Service to continue delivering ballots without changes.
- The blocked USPS plan required states to provide voter lists and use specific barcodes on ballot envelopes, but federal judges ruled these requirements likely exceeded the Postal Service's authority.
- Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the ruling, noting the rule might fall within USPS authority but would be arbitrary to implement before the 2026 elections due to insufficient preparation time.
- Republican election officials warned that implementing the USPS plan now could cause errors and confusion, while Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, supporting the administration's request to pause the injunction.
- Despite President Trump's claims of mail-in voting fraud, no evidence was presented in court, and Trump himself voted by mail in 2024, even as he continues to criticize mail-in ballots publicly.
