Supreme Court rejects Trump mail ballot restrictions for midterm elections
The court blocked the president's attempt to restrict mail voting ahead of November's midterm elections.
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Trump's proposed restrictions on mail ballots for the November midterm elections. Democrats said the decision would help ensure "safe, secure and accurate elections."
The ruling comes as Trump-appointed directors on the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts prepare to vote Tuesday on the venue's future, with disputes continuing over whether Trump's name should be on the complex.
