The filing responded to a Trump administration request that the justices allow federal agencies to implement two parts of an executive order that directed the U.S. A lower court order has blocked those parts of the order in nearly half of all states and the District of Columbia. Those states told the Supreme Court there would be a limited window to correct errors, which could disenfranchise the voters that rely on mail-in voting, such as older Americans and people with disabilities. The Trump administration is seeking to lift an injunction in a Massachusetts lawsuit, which was brought by 23 states and D.C. The Federal Register shows that the agency submitted a rule with changes that comply with the president’s executive order, on the contingency that it succeeds in the courts.
