Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Midterm Mail Ballot Curbs

Summary

The US Supreme Court refused to clear the Postal Service to enforce new restrictions on mail-in ballots for the congressional midterms, with seven justices effectively rejecting the administration's executive order as unconstitutional. The decision keeps existing mail-in ballot procedures in place for November.
