High Court Keeps Rule on Mail Ballots Blocked
The justices left intact a lower-court injunction after officials said the rule would force states to redesign envelopes and enroll millions of voters in an untested system.
- On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to let the U.S. Postal Service enforce a rule targeting mail-in ballots, preserving the existing mail voting process for the November 3 midterm elections.
- Led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a coalition of 24 attorneys general challenged the Trump Administration's Executive Order, which would have required states to redesign ballot envelopes and enroll voters in untested USPS systems.
- Court filings revealed the USPS lacked the technology to implement the rule, and a whistleblower report warned of "potentially catastrophic problems" and characterized the efforts as "sloppy and rushed."
- Following the legal victory, Common Cause and the Democratic Party announced initiatives to deploy 10,000 volunteers to assist voters at polling locations across all 50 states and territories.
- Public trust remains low as only 34% of adults report high trust in government election certifications, according to an AP-NORC and USAFacts poll, while the administration continues to cite a New Jersey software glitch involving 6,600 noncitizens.
