Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid to Restrict Mail Ballots for Midterms

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an attempt by President Donald Trump to impose new restrictions on mail-in voting for the midterm elections, according to the Guardian.

The decision caps a flurry of last-minute legal action and comes as voting in the midterms is already underway in parts of the country, the Guardian reported.

The ruling allows states to continue sending out mail ballots under the same processes they have used for years, according to the report.

The Guardian did not provide further detail in the excerpt on the specific legal arguments made by the Trump administration or the reasoning behind the court's decision. Additional details on the case, including any dissenting opinions or reactions from state election officials, were not included in the available material.

The case had been closely watched given its potential to affect the administration of the midterm elections at a critical stage, with ballots already being distributed and returned in some states, the Guardian noted.
