US Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid to Restrict Mail Ballots as Voting Begins
The court's ruling leaves existing state voting procedures in place for November's midterm elections, according to France 24.
The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected an attempt by President Donald Trump to impose new restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of November's midterm elections, France 24 reported.
The ruling means states can continue using their existing voting procedures for the upcoming elections, according to the report.
Election officials had warned that last-minute changes to mail ballot rules could disrupt ballot distribution, France 24 said.
The decision comes as voting is already underway ahead of the midterms, according to the report.
Further details on the specific legal arguments and the court's reasoning were not immediately available.
