Summary
Election officials across the U.S. are scrapping contingency plans and pivoting to voter outreach after the Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s order to restrict mail voting ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Months of legal uncertainty and Trump’s repeated false attacks on mail ballots left many voters confused about whether voting by mail would remain available and secure.
Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar said officials had prepared for multiple court outcomes and are now moving to reassure voters that mailed ballots will still be counted without federal restrictions.
Nevada plans a broad education push using TV ads, digital ads and text messages, reflecting a wider state-by-state effort to rebuild confidence in a voting method Trump has long targeted despite using it himself.
