Supreme Court Blocks Voter Suppression Rule | Spokane News

The Supreme Court just blocked a controversial Postal Service rule that would have made it harder to vote by mail, siding with voting rights advocates and states challenging the measure. The rule, pushed by the administration amid claims of voter fraud (despite scant evidence), required states to provide voter lists and special barcoded envelopes — a move critics feared would disenfranchise millions. Two federal judges had already struck it down, citing lack of authority and potential harm to voters. With the high court’s decision, the Postal Service can’t enforce these restrictions ahead of the midterms, allowing states to continue mailing ballots as usual — a major victory for democracy advocates and Democrats, who rely more on mail-in voting.
