U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump's attempt to restrict mail-in voting

CNN Portugal15 September 2026 at 06:24

The majority of the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's attempt to restrict mail-in voting. The court did not detail its reasoning, as is customary in its emergency proceedings.

Two justices, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, publicly dissented from the court's majority decision. This case arises in a context of electoral disputes in the United States.

Why this matters

This decision directly affects millions of American voters who use mail-in voting, particularly relevant in a context of ongoing electoral disputes in the U.S. The majority's rejection without extensive reasoning suggests that courts are unwilling to limit this voting method, which could have significant implications for future electoral contests in the country.

Independence: Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland Test London's Patience

The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland met this Monday in Cardiff to sign a historic memorandum demanding joint referendums on independence from the United Kingdom — an unprecedented initiative that represents the greatest threat to British territorial integrity since 1922. John Swinney, Rhun ap Iorwerth and Michelle O'Neill signed the document on behalf of their respective independence parties, but met as party leaders and not as prime ministers, to avoid institutional confrontation with London. The pressure comes following Brexit, which the three territories approved in lower proportion than the British average, and includes the possibility of jointly requesting accession to the European Union. Prime Minister Andy Burnham reiterated the Labour government's opposition to referendums, stating that the executive prefers to focus on the economy rather than on "constitutional debates".
