Supreme Court denies Trump's bid to limit mail ballots before midterms

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied former President Donald Trump’s request to impose new restrictions on mail‑in ballots for the upcoming November midterm elections. The Court’s refusal to grant a temporary injunction means that states may continue to follow the voting procedures already in place, without the additional limitations sought by the Trump campaign.

Election officials had warned that the proposed changes, introduced just weeks before the election, could jeopardize the timely distribution and processing of absentee ballots. By leaving existing rules intact, the Court’s decision averts potential disruptions to ballot delivery and allows states to proceed with their current mail‑voting systems as voters head toward the midterm polls.
