美国最高法院周一初步批准了特朗普限制邮寄投票的行政令，但尚未裁定其合宪性 1。这一决定导致11月中期选举的投票程序陷入不确定性，并重启了围绕该行政令的法律战 1。最高法院表示，民主党执政州在6月说服波士顿联邦法官冻结该命令为时过早 1。
根据新邮政规则，邮寄选票信封必须采用特定格式，且各州需使用电子系统向邮政署识别邮寄投票者，但选举官员称在极短时间内几乎无法落实这些要求 1。北卡罗来纳州海外和军事选民的初选选票计划于9月4日寄出 1。大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊在异议中警告，该决定“不必要地将混乱和不确定性注入即将到来的中期选举” 1。选举创新与研究中心执行主任戴维·贝克尔（David Becker）称多数意见“似乎在中期选举前制造了完全的混乱” 1。内华达州民主党州务卿西斯科·阿吉拉尔（Cisco Aguilar）指出，邮政署已在该州6月初选中误投了三打邮寄选票 1。此外，2024年大选中29%的选民通过邮寄方式投票 1。
The U.S. Supreme Court has preliminarily approved Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting, but has not yet ruled on its constitutionality, leaving voting procedures for the November midterm elections in a state of uncertainty 1. On Monday, the justices determined that it was premature for Democratic-led states to convince a federal judge in Boston to freeze the order in June, a decision that restarts the legal battle surrounding the directive 1. The new regulations mandate that mail-in ballot envelopes follow a specific format and require states to utilize electronic systems to identify mail-in voters to the Postal Service, changes that election officials argue are nearly impossible to implement within such a short timeframe 1.
In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned that the decision "unnecessarily injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections" 1. David Becker, executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, stated that the majority opinion "appears to create complete chaos ahead of the midterm elections" 1. Nevada Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar pointed out that the Postal Service had already misdelivered three dozen mail-in ballots during the state's June primary 1. Meanwhile, primary ballots for overseas and military voters in North Carolina are scheduled to be mailed out on September 4 1. In the 2024 election, 29% of voters cast their ballots by mail 1.
