DoJ seeks SCOTUS greenlight for Trump’s federal voter list and mail-ballot plan
The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to allow President Trump’s March executive order creating a federal list of eligible voters and directing USPS to send ballots only to people on that list, arguing it should proceed while lawsuits unfold. Democratic officials warn the president lacks authority to rewrite election rules and fear potential abuse, while opponents have blocked the measure in multiple states ahead of elections. A Massachusetts judge halted it for the November vote, and a First Circuit panel upheld that halt, with the plan involving USCIS and the SSA compiling the list.
