Here's where the legal battle over mailed ballots stands after a series of developments
The White House says the order protects ballot security, while opponents argue it could disrupt mail voting in 37 states.
- President Donald Trump's executive order restricting mail-ballot delivery faces ongoing legal challenges as first ballots are scheduled for distribution in North Carolina on Sept. 4.
- The White House argues the order protects ballot security by directing the Postal Service to withhold ballots from states lacking voter eligibility lists or uniform envelope standards.
- While the Supreme Court allowed the order to proceed on procedural grounds early last week, a judge recently halted it, prompting an administration appeal that may return the case to the high court.
- Opponents argue the Constitution grants states authority to run elections, with 37 states currently allowing no-excuse mail voting or sending ballots to all active voters.
- Congress faces broader legislative hurdles as lawmakers return from recess, with the SAVE America Act lacking the 60-vote threshold in the Senate without Democratic support.
