The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow enforcement of President Donald Trump's executive order that would overhaul mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections, according to the report.
The Justice Department requested that the justices temporarily block lower court rulings that halted the order in 23 states and Washington, D.C.
It also proposes secure ballot envelopes with unique tracking barcodes and allows federal funding to be withheld from states that fail to comply.
According to the report, Democratic-led states argue that the Constitution gives states and Congress, not the president, authority over election rules.
The Justice Department maintains the order provides general policy guidance and urged the Supreme Court to act quickly so any changes could be implemented before the midterm elections.
