Trump renews appeal to Supreme Court to restrict mail-in voting ahead of November midterms, calls it ‘commonsense measures’

The Trump administration has officially renewed its appeal to the US Supreme Court to permit restrictions on mail-in voting, as reported by The Guardian. This move comes after a federal judge blocked new limits on these ballots just as the country prepares for the November midterm elections.

The latest filing was submitted this past Sunday. It follows a decision made by US District Court Judge Indira Talwani on Friday, which extended a court order preventing the US Postal Service from enforcing the executive order signed by President Trump. This is actually the third time the administration has asked the highest court in the country to intervene in this specific dispute. While the court has previously allowed the plan to move forward, it has yet to make a final ruling on whether the plan is actually legal.
