SCOTUS hits the brakes on Trump’s mail-in ballot crusade

Original version ·

The highest court in the land just waded into the mail-in voting drama, and it is every bit as messy as expected.

So, SCOTUS finally stepped into the ring regarding Trump’s attempts to strangle mail-in voting. They hit a pause button on a lower court ruling that was busy dismantling his executive orders, but don't get too excited about a clear winner.

The USPS remains legally hogtied nationwide, meaning the order basically stays in limbo while everyone keeps arguing in court. It is essentially a stalemate where the gears of the post office are frozen while the lawyers get paid to bicker over the fine print.

Somehow, a simple trip to the mailbox has become a high-stakes legal thriller.
