U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Trump Measure Restricting Mail-in Voting
Seven weeks before the midterm elections, the Supreme Court refused to allow the U.S. Postal Service to implement a provision of a presidential executive order aimed at limiting mail-in voting.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Monday, September 14, to allow the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to implement a measure stemming from an executive order by President Donald Trump designed to restrict mail-in voting, according to information reported by France 24.
This decision comes seven weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, a vote set to renew the entire House of Representatives as well as part of the Senate.
The presidential executive order targeted by the Supreme Court aimed to modify the conditions for implementing mail-in voting through the USPS, according to the cited source. The precise details of the contested measure and the exact reasons for the high court's decision were not specified in the available information.
Mail-in voting remains a politically sensitive issue in the United States, having been the subject of recurring debate over several election cycles, particularly concerning its organization and reliability.
