Supreme Court Blocks Postal Ballot Rule | Salt Lake City News

The Supreme Court just upheld a federal judge’s block on the Trump administration’s controversial Postal Service rule aimed at reshaping mail-in ballot handling — including envelope standards and state voter eligibility lists. With elections looming and Congress on the line, the justices sided with preserving the current system, deeming last-minute implementation unfair to election officials. Justice Kavanaugh agreed, stressing the rule’s timing would cause chaos; dissenters Alito and Thomas argued the government has a legitimate interest in combating fraud. The decision ensures voters and administrators won’t face sudden upheaval as ballots head to the polls. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
