Tell the Supreme Court: Stop Trump’s Mail Voting Power Grab

On Monday, Trump’s Justice Department ran to the Supreme Court after lower courts blocked his attack on mail voting — asking the justices to let him force new restrictions into place before the midterms.

Trump’s emergency request is a direct threat to voting rights. Lower courts already blocked key parts of his executive order, but his administration is demanding fast action from the Supreme Court so it can force these changes into place before voters cast ballots in November.

The result could be chaos: election officials scrambling, voters confused, and eligible people blocked from receiving or casting mail ballots right before a national election.

Mail voting is a lifeline for seniors, people with disabilities, rural voters, students, military families, caregivers, workers with unpredictable schedules, and millions of Americans who cannot easily vote in person. Trump’s order could make voting harder for the very people who rely on it most.

And the timing is the point. If the Supreme Court lets Trump move forward now, voters could lose access to mail ballots before they even have a fair chance to make their voices heard.

No president should be allowed to bulldoze voting rules at the last minute. No court should help him do it.

The Supreme Court must hear from the public now: voters are watching, and we will not accept a ruling that lets Trump sabotage mail voting before the midterms.

Thanks for all that you do,
