Trump administration asks Supreme Court to clear the way for new mail-in voting restrictions

The Trump administration requested the Supreme Court to allow implementation of an executive order imposing mail-in voting restrictions. A federal judge in Massachusetts paused parts of the order in 23 states and the District of Columbia, which the administration argued disrupts established judicial doctrines. The order requires the U.S. Postal Service to propose mail-in ballot rules and the Department of Homeland Security to compile state citizenship lists, facing legal challenges from states led by California.
