Key Points

The Supreme Court on Monday sided with President Donald Trump for now in his effort to impose sweeping new restrictions on distributing mail ballots, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked key parts of the plan ahead of November's midterm elections. The justices, over three dissents, paused a ruling by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston that prevented the Trump administration from carrying out portions of a March executive order involving the U.S. Postal Service and...

The Supreme Court on Monday sided with President Donald Trump for now in his effort to impose sweeping new restrictions on distributing mail ballots, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked key parts of the plan ahead of November's midterm elections. The justices, over three dissents, paused a ruling by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston that prevented the Trump administration from carrying out portions of a March executive order involving the U.S. Postal Service and voter eligibility lists. The decision is an interim victory for Trump and does not resolve the underlying legality of his order. And it does not immediately clear the way for the new mail-ballot system to take effect. A separate injunction Talwani issued on Aug. 11 still bars the Postal Service from implementing the procedural changes for the Nov. 3 elections. The administration would need to overcome that order as well.
