Supreme Court Backs Trump Ballot Rules

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 emergency order, lifted a June injunction from a Massachusetts judge that had blocked President Trump from implementing parts of a March executive order restricting mail-in voting before the Nov. 3 midterms. The order lets the administration continue work on rules involving state voter-eligibility lists, citizenship checks and U.S. Postal Service handling of mailed ballots. A separate nationwide injunction against USPS implementation remains in place, so election procedures do not change immediately. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying the ruling leaves states scrambling.
