Trump again appeals to Supreme Court on mail-voting restrictions with midterm elections looming
The administration says the system is a minor change, while election officials warn it could disrupt ballot delivery for millions of voters.
- On Thursday, a Justice Department lawyer could not tell U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani whether President Donald Trump's mail-ballot system was operational, one day before North Carolina begins shipping ballots for the midterm elections.
- The administration's plan mandates states upload voter lists to an online portal and use uniform envelope designs, yet the Postal Service has yet to identify a single state that voluntarily opted into the program.
- A whistleblower report warns that barcode errors could discard millions of legitimate ballots; Talwani characterized the unverified system as an "experiment," stating, "I have nothing."
- The administration has appealed Talwani's 14-day restraining order to the Supreme Court, while critics argue the Constitution designates election rule-making power to states, not the president.
- With North Carolina scheduled to begin shipping ballots on Friday, the tight timeline forces the administration to seek immediate Supreme Court intervention to resume implementing the plan.
