Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Mail Ballot Restrictions Before Midterms

In September 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an attempt by President Donald Trump to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections. The court's decision prevents the U.S. Postal Service from implementing tighter rules for mail voting. The ruling is seen as a setback for Trump.

The midterm elections are expected to take place soon, and Democrats are positioned for a possible House win, which could set the stage for a third impeachment of Trump. The Supreme Court's action allows mail ballots to continue under existing rules for now.
