Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Lift Block on USPS Mail-In Voter Verification Rules

The Department of Justice has requested the Supreme Court to allow President Donald Trump's executive order on U.S. Postal Service (USPS) mail-in ballot rules to take effect for the November midterms. The order aims to verify that mail-in ballots are sent only to U.S. citizens, a measure previously halted by a federal judge. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has set a September 8 response deadline for critics of the new rules.
