The Supreme Court on Monday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing new Postal Service requirements targeting mail-in ballots before the November midterm elections.

The justices rejected a Justice Department request to overturn a lower-court injunction that prevents the USPS from implementing the rule while legal challenges continue. The court said the government was unlikely to prevail on the merits. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

The rule would require states to provide voter lists to the Postal Service and use USPS-approved envelopes with tracking barcodes. Officials could reject ballots that failed to meet the requirements.

According to the report, critics warned the changes could disrupt legitimate ballot deliveries shortly before Election Day. The administration argued the policy would help prevent voter fraud, although documented cases are rare.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the USPS may have authority to adopt the policy but agreed states lacked sufficient time to implement it for the 2026 election.
