Supreme Court lets Trump mail-in voting order take effect in 23 states, for now

The Supreme Court on August 24, 2026, paused a lower-court injunction blocking key directives of President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting in 23 states and Washington, D.C., for the November 2026 midterms. The justices did not rule on the order's legality. A separate injunction still blocks the U.S. Postal Service from following the directives.
