“Supreme Court Halts Trump Administration's Mail-In Ballot Restrictions Ahead of 2020 Elect” — what this page in the network covers. In a pivotal decision just weeks before the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to impose new restrictions on mail-in voting, upholding a lower court’s temporary injunction.
