White House presses Supreme Court to allow new mail ballot rules before November

The Trump administration filed a new Supreme Court brief Monday urging the justices to lift lower-court blocks on its executive order tightening mail-in voting procedures, with the midterms just 10 weeks away. The Postal Service finalized regulations Friday requiring states to use barcode-equipped envelopes and submit voter lists, but it has paused implementation pending court approval. Voting rights advocates warn that the legal uncertainty itself could disrupt election preparations.
