US Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Restrictions on Mail-in Voting

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in a concurring opinion with the majority decision, argued that the dispute is not necessarily about the long-term legitimacy of the plan, but rather the limited time remaining before the election.

In March, Trump signed an executive order aimed at tightening mail-in voting conditions, arguing that this mechanism is prone to fraud, resulting in a series of legal challenges.

Democratic-led states filed lawsuits against the US administration, arguing that the Constitution grants states, not the federal government, broad authority in managing elections.

The executive order stipulated the preparation of lists of eligible voters and required the US Postal Service to deliver ballots only to individuals listed on those lists.

Officials in several states warned that the legal ambiguity surrounding the plan is causing administrative confusion months before the November 3 vote.

Meanwhile, several states, including North Carolina, have begun sending mail-in ballots to voters.

At the same time, a whistleblower at the US Postal Service warned that millions of Americans may not receive their ballots due to systems that they described as "hastily and poorly prepared".

Trump is one of the most vocal critics of mail-in voting, despite using this method on several occasions, most recently voting last month in the Republican primary in Florida.

For years, he has claimed that mail-in voting facilitates fraud, linking it to his repeated claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.

Polls suggest that the Republican Party faces serious risks of losing its majority in Congress, particularly in the House of Representatives.

In contrast, Democrats assert that if they regain control of Congress, they will work to obstruct Trump's legislative goals and may open the door to a new attempt to impeach him.
