Trump Administration Refiles Supreme Court Appeal on Mail-in Ballots
The justices gave the administration until Wednesday to respond as opponents warn the proposed postal changes could disrupt ballot delivery for millions of voters.
- Over the weekend, the Trump administration refiled an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, seeking to lift a federal judge's block on proposed Postal Service changes to mail-in ballot handling ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to curtail mail balloting access, continuing his pattern of castigating the practice since his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
- North Carolina became the first state to distribute mail ballots on Friday, while officials elsewhere report that Postal Service processing changes caused a 32% spike in rejected ballots in Washington's August primary.
- The administration describes the measures as "constitutional" and "reasonable preparation," while State Board Executive Director Sam Hayes told reporters in Raleigh, "We believe that we are well positioned."
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, overseeing the appeal, set a Wednesday deadline for responses, meaning a decision could come midweek at the earliest as Alabama prepares to distribute ballots next week.
