US Supreme Court blocks Trump's plan to limit mail-in voting in midterm

The United States Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump's plan to change mail-in ballot procedures, dealing a significant blow to his administration ahead of the midterm elections.

The decision was made Monday by a majority of Supreme Court justices, who blocked a rule that would have given the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) new powers to stop or refuse the delivery of millions of ballots. Election officials and voting rights groups said the plan could lead to confusion and mass voter exclusion.

In its brief order, the Court stated that the administration “is unlikely to succeed on the merits of the lawsuit,” without providing further explanation. Conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas voted against the decision.

The Trump administration had presented the change as a measure to increase the security of mail-in voting and prevent election fraud. However, critics saw it as an overreach of presidential powers and an attempt to influence the electoral process.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in a dissenting opinion, noted that even if the USPS might have had the authority to enforce the rule, election officials at the state and local levels did not have the necessary time to implement it before the election.

A coalition of Democratic-led states, voter rights organizations and election administrators argued that the changes would require new technology systems, modified ballot envelopes and new procedures, while in some states ballots had already begun to be distributed.

Under the US Constitution, electoral procedures are determined by the states and Congress, not by the White House or the Postal Service.

The Supreme Court's decision is considered a significant political defeat for President Trump, who for years has raised allegations of widespread fraud in mail-in voting, although courts and election experts have stressed that such cases remain very rare and there is no evidence of large-scale manipulation.
