[The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily does not approve mail-in voting restrictions, and state midterm elections will continue to use existing procedures] September 15th, reporters learned on September 14, local time, that the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily rejected the mail-in voting restrictions proposed by the Trump administration that day. With midterm election voting already underway, the decision means states can continue to send out mail-in ballots for now, following the same process they have used for years. The Trump administration had previously asked the Supreme Court to allow the restrictions to take effect before the November congressional elections, when nearly one-third of U.S. voters cast their ballots by mail. U.S. President Trump signed an executive order on March 31 directing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state and submit it to each state. The list is based on information from citizenship and naturalization records and other federal databases. The executive order also requires the U.S. Postal Service to deliver ballots only to voters on state-approved mail-in ballot lists. (CCTV News)
