Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Administration Takes Mail-In Ballot Rules Fight to US Supreme Court
Caption: Trump Administration Takes Mail-In Ballot Rules Fight to US Supreme Court. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow stricter mail-in ballot rules ahead of November elections. The Justice Department wants judges to overturn a temporary block against new Postal Service voting requirements. The rules would require voter lists, approved envelopes, and unique barcodes for mailed ballots nationwide. Critics warn noncompliant ballots could be rejected, potentially disrupting thousands of legitimate votes before November's midterms. Republicans are fighting to retain Congress, while Democrats traditionally rely more heavily on mail-in voting. Trump has repeatedly questioned mail-ballot security, despite evidence showing widespread voter fraud remains extremely rare nationwide. A federal judge previously blocked the rules, saying states administer elections and lacked sufficient time to comply. The administration bypassed an appeals court and urgently appealed directly to the Supreme Court Thursday. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
