Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has fiercely condemned Donald Trump's latest emergency Supreme Court appeal concerning mail-in ballots, calling the attempt to tighten nationwide voting rules ahead of the autumn midterms a 'brazen attempted power grab'.The Trump administration formally asked the nation's highest court on 27 July to reinstate an executive order aiming to exert greater federal control over the electoral process.
For context, the filing comes after lower courts repeatedly blocked the administration from creating a federal list of eligible voters and restricting the delivery of postal votes only to those individuals. A federal judge in Boston ruled in June that key components of the March executive order were unconstitutional, preventing enforcement across the 23 states currently challenging the mandate.
