Supreme Court pauses ruling blocking parts of Trump mail voting order
The justices temporarily halted a lower court order that had stopped key parts of Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail voting before the midterm elections.
The US Supreme Court on Monday put on hold a lower court decision that had blocked major parts of President Donald Trump’s order aimed at limiting mail voting ahead of the midterm elections. The move gives the administration temporary relief while the case continues.
The court’s action does not lift a separate nationwide block on work by the US Postal Service tied to the order, according to reporting from NPR. That means the dispute over how the directive would be carried out remains unresolved.
Trump has long targeted voting by mail, and the order at issue was part of that broader push. The legal fight is now set to continue in the lower courts as election preparations move forward.
