The US Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to allow the Postal Service to enforce a rule targeting mail-in ballots ahead of the November midterm elections. The court upheld an injunction imposed by Judge Indira Talwani that blocked the new measure, arguing it likely violated the Constitution and was impractical given the approaching election timeline. In dissent, Justices Alito and Thomas supported reconsidering the policy’s validity at a later stage, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh, appointed by Trump, voted with the majority against the administration’s challenge.Critics argue that these restrictions could lead to the disenfranchisement of voters who rely heavily on mail-in voting, particularly in predominantly Democratic states.
