The justices ruled 6-3 to overturn a June injunction placed on Trump’s executive order on the matter.
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with an effort to limit mail-in voting through the Post Office. The justices ruled 6-3 to overturn a June injunction placed on Trump’s executive order on the matter.
The justices said that the over 20 Democrat-led states that sued over the move lacked standing because it was unclear how the administration will implement the order. “The Court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell. But the Order itself does not harm the States, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the Government from trying to implement it,” the unsigned opinion states.
The case centers around Trump’s Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections executive order, which he signed in March. It directed the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of US citizens who are eligible to vote, and the USPS to create rules that would toughen requirements for states that conduct voting by mail, including not sending ballots to those who have not been identified as eligible US citizens
