Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Let USPS Screen 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 deems invalid. Judge Indira Talwani blocked the executive order on September 4, calling it likely unconstitutional and warning it could disenfranchise millions. Justice Jackson set a Wednesday deadline for responses. In 2024, one in four Democrats and one in five Republicans voted by mail.
