US supreme court blocks Trump order restricting mail-in ballots

The US supreme court has rejected Donald Trump's March executive order aimed at restricting mail-in voting for the midterm elections. The order had sought to bar the US Postal Service from delivering mailed ballots to anyone the administration deemed ineligible, with the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration drawing up the list. Legal experts called the move unconstitutional because only states can set election rules, and a whistleblower warned the Postal Service could not implement the plan safely. Around a third of American voters cast ballots by mail. Trump's angry response signals further attempts to disrupt the electoral process ahead of the vote.
