Trump administration again urges US Supreme Court intervention on mail ballots
U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer says the injunction is delaying implementation of voting restrictions before November elections.
- On Wednesday, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer renewed the Trump administration's emergency request to the Supreme Court to block a nationwide injunction against an executive order restricting mail-in voting, arguing that swift intervention is critical.
- President Donald Trump signed the executive order titled 'Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections' on March 31, directing the Department of Homeland Security to create citizenship lists and restricting the U.S. Postal Service from mailing ballots to unverified voters.
- District Judge Indira Talwani blocked the policy, ruling the executive branch lacks authority to regulate elections under the Constitution. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that states face the kind of 'concrete injury' that allows legal standing.
- Sauer contended the government faces irreparable harm unless the Supreme Court intervenes, as the Tuesday nationwide injunction by Talwani blocks implementation of election integrity policies before November 3.
- With Election Day approaching on November 3, 2026, the Supreme Court's emergency decision will determine whether the executive order can proceed. Talwani clarified her injunction targets only the upcoming midterms, leaving future constitutional arguments for later review.
