The Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s request to allow the US Postal Service to check mail-in ballots against voter registration databases, dealing a significant blow to his efforts to restrict voting rights before the midterm elections. The court's decision came after multiple attempts by the Trump administration to intervene, with critics arguing that such measures could disenfranchise millions of voters, particularly those relying on mail-in ballots. This ruling upholds lower court decisions blocking Trump’s executive order, which aimed to implement stricter USPS rules ahead of states sending out their ballots.
