Here's where the legal battle over mailed ballots stands after a series of developments
The White House says the order protects ballot security, while opponents argue it could disrupt mail voting in 37 states.
- President Donald Trump's executive order restricting mail-ballot delivery faces ongoing legal challenges as the first ballots are scheduled for distribution in North Carolina on Sept. 4.
- The White House argues the order is necessary to protect ballot security, directing the Postal Service to withhold ballots from states that do not submit voter eligibility lists or follow uniform envelope styles.
- While the Supreme Court allowed the order to proceed on procedural grounds early last week, a judge recently halted the directive, prompting an administration appeal that may return the issue to the high court.
- Opponents argue the Constitution grants states authority to run elections; 37 states currently allow no-excuse mail voting or send ballots to all active voters.
- Congress faces a broader legislative crunch as lawmakers return from recess, though the SAVE America Act lacks the 60-vote threshold in the Senate to pass without some Democratic support.
