Midterm mail ballots start to go to voters as litigation over Trump's order creates uncertainty

Statewide mail voting for the midterm elections kicks off on Friday, with mail ballots beginning to go out to voters. The start of the voting process coincides with a churning legal battle regarding President Donald Trump's attempts to limit mail-in voting.

In addition to the litigation over the presidential order, the rollout of mail ballots is accompanied by mounting concern over Postal Service changes. Some state officials have directly blamed these operational alterations for a rise in rejected ballots.
