- A lower court blocked the mail-in ballot restrictions, ruling Trump lacked authority to change state election rules.
- In an emergency filing on Monday, the Justice Department asked the country’s highest court to pause a lower court ruling that blocked parts of Trump’s March executive order in 23 Democratic-led states and Washington, DC.
- With just 99 days before the nation’s high-stakes midterm elections, Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to let him enforce an executive order that would impose sweeping restrictions on mail-in voting.
