The decision means a Postal Service measure that could lead to ballots’ not being sent to voters won’t be in effect for this November’s midterm elections.
In a 7-2 vote, the Extreme Court of the United States just shot down Trump’s hopes of exercising federal control over the midterm elections, of course the Uncles–Sam and Clarence–voted to give the worst and most corrupt president ever control over our elections. The United States Postal Service will have NO authority to restrict mail in ballots ahead of our midterm elections.
The decision allows states to continue sending out mail ballots under the same processes they’ve used for years and have accounted for nearly a third of votes cast.
It represented a stark defeat for Trump on an issue he consistently has emphasized as vital to ensuring election integrity even though there is virtually no evidence of fraud with mail ballots.
The Supreme Court majority wrote that the administration’s push to implement the restrictions this year is likely to lose in court, though the brief emergency order didn’t detail its reasoning. Two justices, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, publicly dissented.
