Supreme Court allows Trump mail voting restrictions to proceed

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 on Monday to allow parts of Donald Trump's mail voting order to take effect. The court's conservative justices supported the decision, while the three liberal justices disagreed. The order, which Trump signed in March, would give federal agencies new powers over how elections are run. It would also create a list of voters who are allowed to use mail ballots. A judge in Massachusetts had blocked the order in June, but the Supreme Court has now lifted that block. However, a second legal block remains in place. Trump has long claimed that mail voting causes fraud, though election experts say it is secure. The ruling creates uncertainty about voting rules just weeks before the November midterm elections.
