Trump is still a threat to mail ballots.

Key Points:

• The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld states' rights to count mail ballots received after Election Day in Watson v. RNC, but just two months prior, it restricted minority voting rights by weakening the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, intensifying redistricting conflicts ahead of midterms.
• President Trump’s executive order demanding states provide voter rolls to the federal government, enforced by Postmaster General David Steiner through USPS mail ballot delivery restrictions, was blocked by a federal judge as unconstitutional and violating separation of powers.
• The SAVE Act, pushed by Trump to tighten voter registration and mail voting rules, failed to gain sufficient Republican support in the House, delaying its prospects amid ongoing political battles over election laws.
• The Supreme Court also struck down limits on coordinated campaign spending in NRSC v. FEC, likely benefiting Republicans with greater access to wealthy donors and impacting the 2024 midterms.
• Ongoing legal and political battles, including redistricting disputes and Supreme Court decisions, have significantly altered U.S. electoral norms, raising concerns about partisanship and the future of democratic processes in America.
