- Trump administration and states urge justices to allow full implementation of executive order on mail-in voting — The Trump administration, along with several states, has petitioned the Supreme Court to permit the complete enforcement of an executive order concerning mail-in voting. This request seeks to implement new restrictions on mail-in voting, which have been contested in lower courts. The administration argues that these measures are necessary to ensure election integrity, while opponents claim they could suppress voter turnout. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter will have significant implications for the upcoming elections and the broader debate over voting rights.
- Trump administration files emergency appeal to restrict mail-in voting — The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal asking the Supreme Court to allow the president's March executive order restricting mail-in voting to move forward ahead of November's midterm elections. The move came two days after a federal appeals court upheld a block on the order, writing that allowing it to take effect for the midterms "would sow confusion and threaten disenfranchisement of many eligible voters."
- Trump administration sought Supreme Court review of mail voting restrictions — The Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to allow enforcement of Trump's mail voting order, which directs Homeland Security to compile state citizenship lists and requires Postal Service rules limiting mail ballots to voters on those lists. Twenty-three states and Washington, D.C., had successfully challenged the restrictions, and the First Circuit declined to revive them. The petition seeks to overturn lower court decisions blocking the order's implementation.
