The Trump administration on Sunday renewed its appeal to the Supreme Court after a federal judge blocked new restrictions on mail ballots ahead of the midterms.<\/p>\n
\n
The filing came after U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani\u00a0extended an order\u00a0against the Postal Service enforcing President Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0executive order\u00a0for the November elections.<\/p>\n
The legal wrangling comes even as states\u00a0start sending out mail ballots, leaving the administration little time to make big changes in mail ballot rules.<\/p>\n
\u201cBallots have already begun to be mailed in North Carolina, and more States will begin the mailing process as the injunction remains in place \u2014 including Alabama on September 9 and at least five States the week of September 13,\u201d Solicitor General John Sauer said in the filing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce those ballot envelopes enter the mailstream, there is no retrieving them. And while the injunction allows the Postal Service and the States to continue taking steps to ensure that their envelopes satisfy the Rule\u2019s requirements \u2026 each day the injunction is in place risks sowing confusion and chaos because the injunction makes those preparatory steps voluntary, rather than mandatory.\u201d<\/p>\n
The appeal marks the third time the administration has asked the high court to intervene. The high court has\u00a0allowed the plan\u00a0to move forward but not ruled on whether it is legal.<\/p>\n
The battle could have major ramifications for this year\u2019s elections, when control of Congress is at stake. Nearly one-third of voters in the U.S. cast mail ballots.<\/p>\n
Democratic states and voting rights groups say the changes are unconstitutional. Election officials contend there isn\u2019t enough time to revise their systems to comply with the new\u00a0Postal Service directives.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has framed the restrictions as commonsense changes that are within its power to regulate the mail.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimply put, the best way to address respondents\u2019 fears about inability to comply with the Rule is to grant an immediate administrative stay of the order, followed by a full stay pending further review,\u201d Sauer said. \u201cThat will remove the improper cloud of uncertainty that the district court has cast over the Rule, making clear to all involved that compliance with the Rule is not optional and must start without further delay.\u201d<\/p>\n
The filing added that eligibility for mail-in and absentee voting will continue to be governed by state law and state and local officials will determine who is eligible to use the method and which ballots are eligible to be counted. \u201cThe Postal Service will not play any role in determining voter eligibility, maintaining voter rolls, or counting ballots.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump has long sought to limit mail voting, even though\u00a0he himself often uses that method\u00a0to cast his own ballot. He has\u00a0falsely blamed\u00a0mail balloting for his 2020 election\u00a0loss to Democrat Joe Bden, spreading baseless claims of fraud. But so far, he has been unable to change the longstanding voting procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
