Just weeks before the start of early voting in several US states, the Supreme Court of the United States decided to block restrictions on mail-in voting. The decision keeps in place the mail-in voting process that was already being used in the states. This resolution comes at a critical moment in the US electoral calendar, as many states prepare to begin the early voting period. The high court made the decision to prevent the implementation of new limitations on the mail-in voting system, ensuring that voters can continue to use this established method. Former President Donald Trump reacted immediately to the decision, publicly calling it a "big defeat for the Republicans and the USA." Trump's criticism reflects the position of the Republican Party, which has questioned the security of mail-in voting on various occasions.
