The Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Postal Ballot Gambit: What This Means for Democracy The US Supreme Court's decision upholding a federal judge's order blocking President Donald Trump's attempt to restrict voting by mail has been hailed as a victory for democracy.
However, the ruling also highlights the increasingly contentious relationship between the executive branch and the judiciary. Trump's plan to limit postal ballots was always dubious.
By directing the US Postal Service (USPS) to deliver ballots only to voters on lists of citizens, he aimed to curtail what he sees as a Democratic Party advantage in elections.
