Justices Asked to Allow Mail-in Ballot Directive
The justices are asked to pause a lower court ruling as the administration argues tighter rules are needed before midterm voting decides Congress.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump's administration asked the Supreme Court to intervene and implement an executive order restricting mail-in ballot use ahead of the Nov. 3 election.
- Trump issued the executive order citing potential fraud, but Federal Judge Talwani expanded a nationwide injunction blocking the measure, citing constitutional overreach and lack of documented illegal voting.
- Attorney Sauer argued implementing the order is crucial to public interest, while the U.S. Department of Justice contended the executive order is not yet enforceable and cannot be challenged.
- Richard Hasen, director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at the UCLA School of Law, stated, "I think it really is too late" for major changes before midterm elections.
- The SAVE America Act remains stalled in the Senate; legislation requires 60 votes to pass, and Trump's pressure campaign failed to secure Democratic support before the August recess.
