# Trump admin seeks Supreme Court nod on mail-voting curbs 2026-08-13T16:18:34+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Trump administration has again asked the US Supreme Court to lift a block on its mail-in voting order, filing an emergency request on Wednesday. A federal judge in Boston had expanded an earlier injunction to stop the Postal Service from enforcing new nationwide rules. The March executive order directed the Department of Homeland Security to create lists of eligible voters and required the Postal Service to deliver ballots only to those on state-approved rolls. Judge Indira Talwani ruled the federal government lacks authority to control how states run elections. Voting rights groups backed by the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the policy as unconstitutional. The Justice Department argues the lawsuits are premature, with no concrete enforcement yet. The dispute comes ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections that will decide control of Congress. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: election integrity, mail-in voting, midterms, Trump, US Postal Service, US Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-admin-seeks-supreme-court-nod-on-mail-voting-curbs/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
