Supreme Court upholds Trump’s order to overhaul mail-in ballots

President Trump can implement an executive order restricting mail-in ballots just months before the midterm elections, the Supreme Court said Monday.

Why it matters: It’s a win for the president, who has opposed mail-in voting for years, but the legal battle is far from over, and the exact impact on November’s elections is still unclear.

Driving the news: The Supreme Court said in the unsigned order that states lack standing to challenge the executive order because it was an “internal directive” that didn’t harm the states that sued. But the majority wrote that the administration was “likely to suffer irreparable harm” from the freeze.
