Supreme Court Lets Trump Advance Mail-Voting Order in 23-State Fight

Summary
Federal agencies can now begin carrying out parts of Trump’s mail-voting order after the Supreme Court said 23 states had not shown a concrete injury from actions not yet taken.
USPS, DHS and DOJ are positioned to move on ballot-mail standards, citizenship-list sharing and probes of ballots sent to ineligible voters, though the White House gave no timeline or implementation details.
USPS has already finalized a rule requiring standardized ballot envelopes, unique tracking barcodes and a federal voter-identification portal, but a separate League of Women Voters injunction still blocks it and the agency had said it would miss the midterms absent cleared litigation.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes vowed fresh court fights, arguing the ruling did not address the order’s legality and that any concrete federal steps can still be challenged.
