Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Allow Mail-In Voting Limits
The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and allow new restrictions on mail-in voting to take effect. A federal appeals court had kept the restrictions blocked in the 23 states that sued over them. The appeals court found states must have time to prepare for potentially disruptive changes to election procedures.
The Trump administration has petitioned the US Supreme Court to intervene and permit restrictions on mail-in voting to take effect, according to court filings. The request follows a ruling by a federal appeals court that kept the restrictions blocked.
The appeals court had sided with 23 states that sued over the restrictions, finding that election officials need adequate time to prepare for changes that could disrupt voting procedures. The administration argues the restrictions should be allowed to proceed while litigation continues.
The Supreme Court has not yet indicated whether it will take up the case. Election officials in the affected states are awaiting a decision as they plan for upcoming voting procedures.
