The Supreme Court’s Mail-In Ballot Ruling Is a Step Toward Chaos in the Midterms

The Supreme Court lifted a Boston judge’s injunction, allowing President Trump’s executive order that tightens mail-in voting to proceed in 23 states and Washington, D.C., though the Court did not rule on its legality and left a nationwide injunction on USPS implementation intact. The order, based on unfounded fraud claims, could disenfranchise millions, prompting a dissent warning of a “Kafkaesque nightmare” and raising concerns that voter confusion will depress turnout in the November midterms.
