Trump Makes Last-Gasp SCOTUS Bid to Rewrite Mail-in Ballot Rules
Solicitor General John Sauer says the limits are needed to protect mail integrity as Democratic states warn they could disenfranchise voters.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump's administration asked the Supreme Court to enforce a new USPS rule tightening mail-in ballot requirements, seeking to lift a 14-day block imposed by District Judge Indira Talwani.
- Under the "Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections" order, Trump's executive mandate requires states to provide ballot recipient lists and use USPS-approved envelopes with unique tracking barcodes.
- A whistleblower report claimed the USPS undertook a "risky and haphazard" approach to implementing the crackdown, while critics in 23 states argue the program is "disastrous from a practical perspective."
- The Supreme Court ordered Democratic states and voting rights groups to submit a response by Sept. 8, as the administration warns that preventing enforcement risks "irreparable harm" to election integrity.
- Opponents contend the changes violate the Constitution and interfere with state-run elections, underscoring the partisan divide over mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections two months away.
