Nearly two dozen Democratic-led states, dozens of election officials and more than 50 former state and federal judges are urging the Supreme Court to block Donald Trump’s threats to mail-in voting, which they say could illegally interfere with the nation’s elections and create “chaos” for voters and their ballots.
Trump filed an emergency appeal to the nation’s high court last week after federal courts blocked the president’s executive action, which a judge said could disenfranchise “many eligible voters” by restricting U.S. Postal Service delivery of ballots to people who do not appear on a newly mandated list of eligible voters.
