The Supreme Court clears a path for President Donald Trump’s mail-ballot executive order ahead of the midterm elections, marking another key win for the administration on the high court’s emergency docket.
The emergency petition was brought to the high court last month by the DOJ and a coalition of GOP states, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit maintained a June order from U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, which had blocked the implementation of the executive order. Trump’s order asked his administration to draft plans for the U.S Postal Service to deliver ballots only to verified eligible voters.
