Sept. 6 (UPI) — The Trump administration on Sunday asked the Supreme Court for a third time to allow it to restrict mail-in voting before November’s midterm elections.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer said in a court filing that the new rule “does not seize control of states’ administration of elections — it simply imposes reasonable preparation requirements for certain election-related mail.”
