Pittsburgh, PA, July 27, 2026 —
The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to permit an executive order concerning mail-in voting to take effect prior to the upcoming midterm elections. This move comes after federal courts previously blocked the order.
The executive order in question aims to establish a “state citizenship list” to identify eligible voters. It also seeks to limit the distribution of mail-in ballots exclusively to individuals appearing on this designated list. Lower courts have issued decisions that prevent the order from being implemented.
In its appeal, the administration contends that the executive order serves as general policy guidance. The administration is requesting that the injunction be put on hold while legal challenges to the order continue through the court system.
