Trump’s mail ballot push hits Supreme Court roadblock ahead of crucial midterms

In a major setback for US President Donald Trump, the US Supreme Court on Monday rejected his administration’s bid to impose new restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections, allowing states to continue using their existing ballot procedures.The ruling capped a flurry of legal action just weeks before voters decide which party will control Congress. Several states have already begun sending mail ballots to voters, making a last-minute overhaul of the system particularly disruptive.The justices upheld a lower-court order blocking new requirements that the Trump administration had sought to impose through the US Postal Service (USPS).
