The Trump administration's plan includes requiring states to use the same envelopes and submit lists of eligible voters to a web portal. If states do not comply with the new rules, the US Postal Service could stop delivering ballots.
Critics have warned that the system could lead to millions of mail-in ballots not being sent in various ways. Democrats have accused Trump of “virtually eliminating mail-in voting ahead of a key election.”
After going through the American legal system, it is now clear that the Supreme Court will stop Trump's restriction. Only two of the nine justices dissented.
The move has major consequences because nearly a third of the country's voters vote by mail, according to the AP.
The Trump administration, which has long opposed mail-in voting, has argued that it has the right to decide on the handling of mail-in votes because it controls the federal postal system.
