In loss for Trump, U.S. Supreme Court won't let Postal Service restrict mail ballots
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to let the Postal Service enforce a rule on mail-in ballots. This blocks President Trump's push to restrict postal voting before November's midterm elections, which decide control of Congress. The Justice Department's request to lift a judge's block was denied; Justices Alito and Thomas dissented. For Indian businesses, this foreign political story has no direct tax or GST impact.
