On Monday, September 14, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency order rejecting President Donald Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots for the upcoming midterm elections. The ruling allows states to continue sending out mail ballots under existing procedures with voting already underway.
The court determined that the proposed restrictions on mail-in voting would likely lose in court, at least for this year's election cycle. Following the decision, President Trump publicly criticized the Supreme Court for the ruling.
Notably, the decision included votes against Trump from Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh, all of whom were nominated by Trump during his first presidential term.
