- President Donald Trump ranted against the Supreme Court on Truth Social Tuesday after the justices rejected his administration's attempt to overhaul mail-in ballot voting procedures just weeks before the midterm elections.
- The Supreme Court's ruling prevents the administration from forcing states to adopt standardized envelope designs and online voter eligibility lists under threat of having the Postal Service refuse ballot delivery.
- Trump-appointed justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch voted with the majority to reject the request, while conservative justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas publicly dissented.
- In his post, Trump condemned the justices he appointed as being “a shell of their original selves” and accused the high court of being “bullied and cajoled by the Radical Left into making decisions that have set America back at least a hundred years.”
- While the Department of Justice and the U.S. Postal Service claimed the rules aimed to standardize election mail, election officials nationwide warned the policy would grant the postal agency unconstitutional authority over election administration.
