US Supreme Court rejects Trump's attempt to restrict mail-in voting

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 02:19

The United States Supreme Court rejected an attempt by President Donald Trump to restrict mail-in voting in the midterm elections. The decision ended a series of last-minute lawsuits that were ongoing related to this issue.

Voting was already underway when the court made this decision, making it particularly significant in the context of the electoral process. The case involved attempts to limit or change mail-in voting rules just before the elections.

Trump was directly involved in this legal battle, seeking to impose restrictions on mail-in voting during the midterm elections. The Supreme Court's decision represented an end to these legal challenges.

Why this matters

This decision directly affects millions of American voters who depend on mail-in voting, ensuring they can continue to exercise their right to vote in this way. The rejection ends a significant legal battle that could have changed the electoral rules just days before the midterm elections.

The Seized Dry Skipjack Tuna and the Joyful Fools of PSD Caniçal

The Portuguese Navy, through NRP Zaire, seized approximately 2,000 kilos of undeclared dry skipjack tuna during an inspection operation near artisanal fishing vessels in the maritime zone of Caniçal, Madeira. The Maritime Police took charge of the incident and followed legal procedures. The incident generated a strong critical reaction from a blogger against PSD Madeira, accusing the party of having created legislation that favors freezing and fish distribution monopolies to the detriment of artisanal fishermen, and of now asking for "common sense" from authorities after the crackdown when it was their own policies that created the situation.
