Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to lift lower-court blocks on President Donald Trump’s executive order imposing new federal rules for mail-in voting before November’s midterm elections. A federal judge in Massachusetts barred enforcement of key provisions in 23 states and the District of Columbia, and a federal appeals court declined to pause that injunction. The March order directs the U.S. Postal Service to set mail-ballot rules and the Homeland Security Department to develop voter-eligibility lists, measures challenged by states as beyond presidential authority.
