Washington: (RightNow) The US Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s request for new restrictions on mail voting. This request aimed to give the US Postal Service the authority to block mail ballots.

According to US media, the court dismissed the Trump administration’s proposal, stating that the chances of their legal stance succeeding are low. The court issued a brief order.

Election officials also deemed this move dangerous, stating it could obstruct the upcoming November midterm elections. They expressed concerns about voters’ rights being affected.

It is important to note that the Trump administration had made changes to mail voting regulations, requiring states to provide voter lists to the postal department.

According to the Trump administration, the new regulations would allow the postal department to reject ballots that do not meet the new standards.
