The Trump administration on Sunday asked the Supreme Court for a third time to approve its restrictions on mail-in ballots since, it argued, the process of voting by mail in the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cBallots have already begun to be mailed in North Carolina, and more States will begin the mailing process as the injunction remains in place \u2014 including Alabama on September 9 and at least five States the week of September 13,\u201d Solicitor General John Sauer said in the filing.<\/p>\n

The emergency request comes after U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani on Friday extended a block on the Postal Service <\/a>from enforcing President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order creating a national voter list and curtailing mail-in voting.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce those ballot envelopes enter the mailstream, there is no retrieving them,\u201d Sauer noted.<\/p>\n

The appeal is the latest volley in a tennis match-style legal battle between the administration and the courts, and all but guarantees that the Supreme Court will make the final determination on Trump\u2019s efforts to control voting by mail.<\/p>\n

Trump administration lawyers filed a second emergency appeal<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>with the Supreme Court on Thursday to lift Talwani\u2019s order blocking the restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe district court\u2019s baseless order also imposes serious irreparable harm on the federal government, the States themselves, and the voting public,\u201d Sauer said in Sunday\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

States run by Democrats and voting rights groups have challenged Trump\u2019s executive order and Democratic lawmakers and others at the national level are fighting back ahead of the hgh-stakes election.<\/p>\n

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the highest ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that when people ask him if Trump is \u201cgoing to try to steal the election,\u201d he tells them it\u2019s already actively happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need to do is to build a political landslide so vast and so strong across America that it\u2019s too big to rig. They\u2019re not going to be able to steal it,\u201d Raskin said on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Democrats are \u201cpreparing for everything\u201d and have made a list of \u201cmore than 100 different ways that they\u2019re going to try to undermine the right to vote and try to steal the election\u201d as Trump did in 2020, he noted, \u201cwhen he called up Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in Georgia and said, \u2018Just find me 11,780 votes.\u2019 That wasn\u2019t Donald Trump trying to stop electoral fraud. That was Donald Trump trying to commit electoral fraud. And so people know that that\u2019s their plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
