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 attempt to impose new 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, cited insufficient time for states to implement the changes. Trump criticized the ruling and the justices, including some he appointed, accusing the court of bias. Voting rights groups and Democratic officials had challenged the restrictions, arguing they lacked constitutional authority and risked disenfranchisement.
