Trump administration urges Supreme Court to allow order targeting mail-in voting before midterms

The administration says the order would prevent noncitizens from receiving mail ballots, while 23 states argue it exceeds presidential authority.

  • On Monday, The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to allow President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting to take effect, seeking to bypass lower court rulings blocking the directive ahead of Nov elections.
  • President Trump issued an executive order in March directing Social Security Administration and Immigration Services to compile a "state citizenship list," instructing the Postal Service to restrict mail ballot delivery exclusively to individuals on that list.
  • Democratic officials in 23 states and the District of Columbia sued, arguing the Constitution grants election authority to states and Congress, not the president; District Court Judge Indira Talwani halted the order in June.
  • A 1st Circuit Court panel affirmed the Massachusetts ruling over the weekend, prompting this emergency appeal to the Supreme Court.
