Reversal: Supreme Court permits mail-vote order

The Supreme Court paused a lower court order that had partly blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting voting by mail. The decision lets the administration begin implementing key parts of the policy ahead of the midterm elections while the case continues. The Court concluded the lower courts moved too soon in putting parts of the order on hold.

The ruling replaces a partial freeze with permission to proceed on regulations for mailed ballots, but it does not bar states from offering vote by mail. The Postal Service issued new ballot‑handling requirements around the same time, and California is preparing another lawsuit.
