  • Critical decision ahead of midterm elections

The US Supreme Court on Monday declined to let Donald Trump's mail ballot restrictions take effect, allowing states to continue using existing postal voting systems as voting in the midterm elections is already underway.

What Was Trump's Proposal?

The Trump administration asked the Court to permit sweeping restrictions on mail ballots before the November elections that will decide control of Congress.
