Supreme Court Blocks Mail Voting Restrictions | Harrisburg News

The Supreme Court just stopped the Postal Service from imposing new mail-in voting restrictions, ensuring this fall’s election will proceed under familiar rules. The move stems from a March executive order that aimed to give the White House control over ballots — requiring them to meet strict design and approval standards — sparking immediate lawsuits. States and voting rights groups warned the rules were too rushed and technically unworkable for November. While the court’s decision doesn’t settle the long-term legality of these rules, it signals deep skepticism about the Postal Service’s authority to dictate election procedures. Only two justices dissented. This showdown underscores the ongoing battle over who controls voting access — and whether federal agencies can override state election systems without risking voter disenfranchisement.
