Supreme Court Halts Postal Voting Rules | Portland Maine News

The Supreme Court just paused new USPS mail-in voting rules pushed by the Trump administration—designed to add barcodes and voter list checks—until after the midterms, citing risks of ballots not being delivered. This follows a summer ruling allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted, which the administration saw as a fraud vulnerability. States sued to block the rules, but one justice noted those same states caused delays. The Justice Department says it’ll follow the Court’s decision while still deploying monitors and pursuing legal action to protect election integrity, as the nation remains deeply divided on how to handle mail-in ballots.
