On September 14, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's plan to impose new restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the November midterm elections, ruling that his administration was unlikely to succeed in challenging a lower court’s decision against these changes. The court voted 7-2 with Alito and Thomas dissenting. Trump had proposed rules giving the U.S. Postal Service authority to verify voter eligibility lists and implement coding systems on ballot envelopes, moves criticized by voting rights advocates as potentially disenfranchising large numbers of voters due to impending election deadlines and technical flaws in the system's implementation.
