Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Let Postal Service Reject Mail-in Ballots

On September 6, 2026, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to let the Postal Service track mail-in ballots and reject ones it finds invalid. A federal judge blocked the order days earlier, warning it could strip millions of mail voters of their say. Justice Jackson set a Wednesday response deadline. In 2024, one in four Democrats and one in five Republicans voted by mail.
