The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce an executive order that restricts mail-in voting. The ruling, issued Monday, lifts an injunction that had blocked the order in 23 states. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department stated they would begin implementing the revised mail-ballot restrictions immediately following the decision. The Trump administration had appealed the injunction in July, framing the order as an "election integrity" measure.
This Supreme Court decision clears the way for the administration to enforce the revised restrictions ahead of the November midterms. However, the ruling may still leave room for additional legal challenges that could further delay the implementation of the order.
