Trump Midterms

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to clear the way for an executive order from President Donald Trump that could dramatically change mail-in voting. The emergency appeal comes after an appeals court upheld a ruling blocking the president's order in nearly half the country ahead of November's midterm elections. The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to allow the proposed changes to move ahead while lawsuits play out. Trump ordered the government in March to create a "state citizenship list" of eligible voters and deliver mail ballots only to people on that list. Democratic officials in 23 states and the District of Columbia sued, saying the Constitution gives states and Congress the authority to set election rules, not the president. Their attorneys have said Trump's proposed changes are ripe for abuse and could cause chaos. A judge in Massachusetts blocked the order for the plaintiff states, and a 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld that .
