United States President Donald Trump harshly criticized today the Supreme Court's decision to refuse an appeal that aimed to restrict mail-in voting in the November midterm elections. Trump considered the decision "horrible and highly political."
The Supreme Court rejected the appeal filed by the Trump administration, which attempted to limit mail-in voting in some states. This was a significant defeat for the President regarding electoral rules just weeks before the midterm elections.
The court's decision comes at a time of great political tension in the United States, with the Republican Party concerned about the impact of mail-in voting on its electoral prospects. Trump has repeatedly questioned the security of mail-in voting, although without presenting concrete evidence of irregularities.
The November midterm elections will elect new members to Congress, including all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate. The Supreme Court's decision on mail-in voting may have a significant impact on voter turnout in these elections.
