Supreme Court blocks Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions
–
Neutral summary
The US Supreme Court refused to allow the Trump administration to enforce new restrictions on mail-in ballots for the November 3 midterm elections, rejecting the request by a 7-2 vote with only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting. The decision came after a second federal judge, Carl Nichols, had already blocked the executive order limiting mail balloting. President Trump sharply criticized the justices, including three he appointed, saying “these are not the people I interviewed.” Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration will comply with the ruling.
