Trump's Government renews appeal to Supreme Court for mail-in voting restrictions

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 17:29

Donald Trump's Government has filed a new appeal with the United States Supreme Court to defend restrictions on mail-in voting. This action comes after a federal judge blocked the implementation of new rules that limited this voting method.

The appeal was filed ahead of the November midterm elections, which are mid-term elections in the United States. The Trump administration has attempted to impose stricter controls on mail-in voting, a practice that has been widely used in the country.

The block determined by the federal judge temporarily prevented the application of new restrictions on mail-in voting. This decision created an obstacle to the Trump administration's efforts to change voting rules before the November elections.

The United States Supreme Court will now be responsible for deciding on the legality of the restrictions proposed by the Trump administration on mail-in voting, in a case that may have significant implications for the American electoral process.
