US Supreme Court: Government May Not Impose Stricter Rules for Mail-In Voting
On 2026-09-14, the US Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's administration cannot implement stricter rules for mail-in voting. The justices refused to suspend a lower court's decision from Boston, which had already blocked the new rules in August and September. The government had hoped to enforce these rules before the midterm elections in early November, but the Supreme Court stated it is unlikely other courts would overturn the lower court’s objections. Critics accused Trump of trying to disadvantage Democrats, as MIT research showed 37% of Democratic voters and 24% of Republican voters used mail-in ballots in 2024.
