Trump Admin Pushes Supreme Court on Voting Rules | Baton Rouge News
Description
The Trump administration is racing against Election Day to force the Supreme Court to fast-track a controversial mail-in voting executive order, after a federal judge in Massachusetts blocked it nationwide—calling it an overreach that threatens voter access, especially for disabled and rural communities. The order demands states share mail-voter lists with the federal government and restrict the Postal Service from delivering ballots to unlisted voters, while the administration argues it’s just directing agencies to draft rules—not finalizing them. But the judge rejected that, ruling the executive branch has no authority to regulate elections and that the potential harm to voters outweighs any claimed public interest. Now, with Election Day looming, the administration’s legal gamble hinges on the Supreme Court stepping in before time runs out—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
