Trump admin asks Supreme Court to fast-track mail-voting restrictions before November elections

The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to stay lower-court injunctions and allow the administration to implement a sweeping executive order that would compile citizenship lists for states and route ballots through the USPS, potentially barring delivery for voters not on the lists. The move seeks to apply the order to the November elections, despite ongoing legal challenges and a 90‑day deadline that has already passed. Courts have said the decree isn’t ripe for review until final rules are issued, while the DOJ argues swift action is needed to avoid irreparable harm and protect election integrity; experts warn the policy could confuse voters and disrupt ballot counts.
