Trump lashes out at SC for rejecting his push to restrict mail ballots
The US Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's last-minute push to restrict mail-in voting. States can keep using the same mail-ballot processes they have followed for years. About a third of voters use mail ballots, and mailing has already started in some states. This mainly matters to US voters and businesses tracking American election risk before the November 3 midterms.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The court ruled late Monday in an emergency order that the mail-ballot restrictions would most likely lose in court, at least for this year's election.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration would comply with the decision but would still do what it can for free and fair elections.
- Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas publicly dissented from the order, and Trump called them "legends both."
