POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — The Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court on Monday to authorize an executive order from President Donald Trump that aims to significantly modify mail-in voting procedures ahead of the November elections.

The Justice Department formally requested the Supreme Court to temporarily halt lower court rulings that have blocked the implementation of these sweeping changes in nearly half of the states.

This judicial move follows President Trump’s recent address, in which he intensified his ongoing campaign to cast doubt on the legitimacy of elections. The administration’s request underscores a continued effort to influence electoral processes as the midterm elections approach.
