United States Supreme Law allows Trump to impose restrictions on postal voting

On Monday, 25 August, the United States Supreme Court suspended the injunction of the lower court against the Trump postal vote restraining order, clearing the way for Trump to advance the measures, but other judicial restrictions remain. The Supreme Court granted an urgent request from the Ministry of Justice to suspend the decision of the Boston Federal Judge of June, which had previously prevented Trump from implementing the executive order in 23 Democratic States and Washington, D.C. An executive order signed in March by Trump called for the compilation of lists of citizens, priority to be given to the prosecution of officials who send ballot papers to disqualified persons, and restrictions on postal service delivering ballot papers only to eligible voters. Trump has long questioned the security of the postal vote and has committed to ending the practice. The restrictions may be in the interest of the Republican Party, as the Democrats prefer to vote by mail. The judges had previously held that the President did not have the power to change the way elections were administered in the counties, while the Ministry of Justice had considered the state prosecutions premature. As the medium-term elections approach, legal disputes surrounding the restrictions on postal voting are expected to continue。
