Trump Administration Renews Supreme Court Appeal to Implement Mail Ballot Rule Ahead of Midterm Elections

The Trump administration has renewed its emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, urging the justices to allow the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to implement a new mail ballot rule before the November midterm elections. This follows a federal district judge in Massachusetts issuing a preliminary injunction that indefinitely blocked the USPS plan. The administration's appeal seeks to overturn this injunction, which was based on the constitutional principle that states and Congress, not the executive branch, are empowered to set election rules.
