Federal courts issue conflicting rulings on Trump's mail-in voting executive order, pushing the issue to the Supreme Court

A federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump's executive order restricting vote-by-mail can proceed, directly contradicting an earlier decision by another appeals panel that had blocked key sections of the order. This conflict has made it highly likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will need to resolve the issue, which has significant implications for states and the administration of the upcoming midterm elections. A dozen Republican-led states have also joined the Supreme Court fight, urging the justices to fully enforce the executive order.
