The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow an executive order restricting mail-in voting to take effect ahead of the November midterm elections after lower courts blocked its implementation.
According to the report, the Justice Department filed an emergency appeal seeking to overturn rulings that halted the directive while legal challenges continue.
The report said President Donald Trump signed the executive order in March, directing the Social Security Administration and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to compile a state citizenship list.
The order also instructed the U.S. Postal Service to limit the delivery of mail ballots to individuals included on that list.
A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the order in June, and the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld that decision.
According to the report, the administration is now asking the Supreme Court to intervene before the midterm elections, making the case another significant legal battle over election procedures and presidential authority.
