Election Officials Say Voters Won’t See Changes to Mail-in Ballots Amid Supreme Court Ruling
Officials said voters should expect no changes to mail ballots after the ruling, and nearly 1 in 3 Americans votes by mail, experts said.
- On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's plan to restrict mail-in voting for the November 3 midterms, rejecting changes that would have forced states to redesign ballot envelopes and implement untested systems.
- President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed mail ballots are fraudulent, prompting his administration to order the U.S. Postal Service to implement burdensome requirements for ballot handling that federal courts ultimately rejected.
- A coalition of 24 attorneys general led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta challenged the rule, arguing it would have forced states to create untested systems and refuse valid mail-in ballots.
- Election officials confirmed that time-tested processes will remain for the November midterms, preserving voter access to mail ballots without federal interference. Tammy Patrick of The Election Center said those officials "breathed a collective sigh of relief."
- Despite this legal setback, the Department of Homeland Security continues investigating noncitizen voters on state rolls, while voting rights groups deploy 10,000 volunteers to polling sites across all 50 states for election protection.
