Supreme Court denies Trump administration's last-ditch bid to overturn federal ballot mail rules
The Supreme Court declined to lift an injunction that prevents states from sending federal ballots in the mail, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting from a ruling they described as a 'Hail Mary' challenge.
The US Supreme Court has denied a request by President Donald Trump's administration to be relieved from a universal injunction that prohibits mail-in ballots in federal elections, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas firmly dissenting as they argued that the court should reconsider its ruling on the 'Hail Mary' challenge. The injunction was put in place due to concerns over voter integrity. The decision marks a setback for Trump's efforts to overturn the universal ballot rule. The court's denial leaves the federal mail-in ballot rules unchanged, maintaining the current standard of one per household.
