Trump seeks Supreme Court backing for stricter mail-ballot limits

Trump asked the Supreme Court to clear the way for an executive order that would tighten mail-in voting for the November midterms; a federal appeals court blocked the order, saying it would sow confusion and disenfranchise voters, a decision supported by Biden- and Bush-appointed judges and opposed by a Trump appointee, as the administration and states wage a high-stakes fight over voting access ahead of key elections.
