US Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Mail-In Voting Restrictions Ahead of Midterms
The US Supreme Court on September 14, 2026, blocked President Donald Trump's proposed restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections, allowing states to continue using existing mail ballot procedures. The court's brief order, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting, upheld lower court injunctions that found the new rules could disrupt voting and exceed presidential authority. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred but left open the possibility of future rulings. Trump criticized the decision, alleging bias and warning of increased mail-in ballot fraud, while election officials emphasized the impracticality of implementing sweeping changes close to the election.
