Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Mail Voting Plan | Spokane News

The Supreme Court just blocked the Trump administration’s push to overhaul mail-in voting, delivering a major victory for election officials worried it would cause chaos before midterms. The ruling means federal rules requiring specific ballot designs, tracking barcodes, and a national voter database won’t go into effect — a win for states like Washington that sued to stop them. Justices found the changes too rushed and unfair under federal law. Officials, including Spokane County’s Vicky Dalton, are relieved — ballots are already printing and mailing as planned, with voters able to return them by mail or drop box. Governors and attorneys general hailed the decision as essential to protecting fair elections and preventing voter disenfranchisement.
