Trump administration seeks Supreme Court review of mail-in voting restrictions

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to let it enforce parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mailin voting while legal challenges continue. The request comes after a federal appeals court kept the restrictions blocked in 23 states that sued over the order. The court said states are already having to prepare for possible election changes and warned that the policy could create confusion. The executive order directs federal agencies to create voter eligibility lists and would let the Postal Service reject ballots that do not meet new requirements. Supporters say the measures are meant to reduce illegal voting, while critics argue they could make it harder for eligible voters to cast mail ballots. The dispute is unfolding ahead of the November midterm elections.
