Trump’s Push to Restrict Mail Ballots Has Failed. Other Efforts to Reshape the Midterms Are Ongoing
The ruling removes the main threat of immediate nationwide disruption as states begin sending ballots and early voting starts, officials said.
- During the Nov Election cycle, the United States Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump's plan to mandate new mail-in ballot restrictions, removing a significant threat that election officials feared would disrupt voting.

- Nearly 2,500 election officials from The Election Center breathed a sigh of relief at the ruling, with administrator Tammy Patrick insisting that "time-tested processes will hold" for the 2026 Election.

- Vetting noncitizen Voters on Election rolls, DHS is conducting a manual investigation that critics warn is error-ridden, despite research showing such instances are extremely rare.

Interestingly enough, while the court’s decision has been among most news outlets’ top headlines and talking points, one network has remained notably quiet about the matter.
