The Trump administration has again applied to the US Supreme Court to implement an executive order imposing stricter rules on voting by mail. The order provides for the preparation of a federal eligible voter list and for the postal service to deliver ballots only to those on that list.
The Supreme Court had allowed the order to be temporarily implemented on August 24 with a 6-3 vote. However, on August 27, a federal judge halted the order again, ruling it "practically impossible to implement" and likely unconstitutional.
The judge emphasized that there was not enough time for the order to be in place for the November 3 election and that it could threaten voting rights. The development reignited the debate over voting rights two months before the midterm elections.
