Blanche Vows to Continue Midterm Efforts Despite Court Blocking Mail Ballots Rule
Blanche said the Justice Department is reviewing voting practices in multiple states as courts keep new Postal Service ballot rules blocked.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court left in place a lower court injunction blocking the Trump administration's new mail-ballot rules, preventing the Postal Service from enforcing requirements that state officials submit voter lists and use specific envelopes for the midterms.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the administration's push for tighter mail-ballot requirements on Tuesday, asserting there is "a lot of evidence" that mail-in voting carries greater fraud risk than in-person voting with identification.
- President Donald Trump called the ruling a "bad decision," while Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Dick Durbin told CNN the president is attempting to "put his own political stamp" on the election and "discourage people from voting."
- Blanche stated the Justice Department will comply with the Supreme Court's order while emphasizing that criminal investigations into potential illegal voting will continue, noting the decision does not impact ongoing enforcement efforts.
- A federal whistleblower alleged the Department of Homeland Security surged personnel last month for an "Unlawful Voter Initiative," while the Department of Justice continues investigating hundreds of cases of alleged illegal voting across multiple states.
