Supreme Court Blocks Last-Minute Mail Ballot Changes | Montpelier News

The Supreme Court just blocked a last-minute Trump administration push to overhaul mail-in ballot rules before the midterms, preserving state systems that handle a third of all votes. With no evidence of widespread fraud, the Court sided with election officials who said drastic changes were impossible in time — and warned such moves could cause more harm than good. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, arguing the Postal Service has broad authority, while Kavanaugh hinted he might support future restrictions. States like Washington and Arizona, heavily reliant on mail voting, now breathe easier as voters can trust their ballots will be processed normally. Voting rights groups hailed the decision as a victory for election integrity and access. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
