Donald Trump seeks Supreme Court stay on mail‑in voting injunction

President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay a federal court injunction that blocked his executive order aimed at restricting mail‑in voting. The order would direct the Department of Homeland Security to compile a nationwide voter roster and require the U.S. Postal Service to refuse delivering mail‑in ballots to anyone not on that list. A federal judge issued the injunction in June, and an appellate court upheld it in July. Solicitor General John Sauer filed an emergency application for a stay, arguing the order protects election integrity. Legal expert Harry Litman warned the move could become an “October ambush,” potentially disenfranchising millions of eligible voters, disproportionately affecting Democratic voters. The Supreme Court has been asked for a provisional decision rather than a final ruling.
