In a major win for voters, the Supreme Court rejected the Trump
administration’s attempt to reinstate its mail voting restrictions ahead of
November’s pivotal midterm elections.

The justices declined to lift a block on the measure that a lower court
judge has said is likely unconstitutional.

The ruling means states can continue to mail absentee ballots as they
always have to millions of Americans who choose to vote by mail. One third
of the electorate, or 47 million people, did so in 2024.
