Trump Admin Files Emergency Application to SCOTUS to Allow Order Restricting Mail-In Voting

The Trump Administration filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court to allow an executive order that would restrict voting by mail. This comes after a federal appeals court blocked key parts of the executive order over the weekend. The Supreme Court has until August 3 to respond. Under Trump’s executive order, DHS would create state-by-state lists of eligible voters who are citizens. The U.S. Postal Service would then use the lists provided by states to assess if voters should be allowed to vote by mail. www.democracynow.org
