00:00The Trump administration is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow key parts of its executive order restricting mail
00:06-in voting to take effect ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
00:11The proposal would require states to share voter eligibility data, tighten oversight of mailed ballots, and direct federal agencies to
00:19help enforce the changes.
00:20Lower courts have blocked the order, ruling that election procedures are primarily controlled by states, while the administration argues the
00:28challenge came too soon.
00:30The Supreme Court is now set to weigh in on whether the restrictions can move forward before the November vote.
