The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to revive an executive order that would reshape how mail ballots are handled ahead of the November midterm elections, escalating a legal battle over federal authority and election administration. Circuit Court of Appeals later declined to overturn that decision, prompting the administration's appeal to the Supreme Court. The coalition of Democratic-led states maintains that state officials have traditionally handled election administration and argues that the executive order exceeds presidential authority. Supreme Court Decision Could Come SoonThe states challenging the executive order must submit their response by 4 p.m. EDT on Monday. Election Timeline Adds PressureEven if the Supreme Court grants the administration's request, questions remain about whether the changes could be implemented before November's elections.
