  • The U.S. government has again asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a dispute over restrictions on mail-in voting.
  • The request followed Judge Indira Talwani’s extension of an order preventing the Postal Service from enforcing the president’s executive order for the November elections.
  • It is the administration’s third request to the high court, which has allowed the plan to proceed but has not ruled on its legality.

The Trump administration has returned to the Supreme Court for a third time, asking the justices to allow restrictions on mail-in voting to take effect.

The latest petition followed a decision by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani to extend an order blocking the Postal Service from enforcing President Donald Trump’s executive order for the November elections.

The Supreme Court has allowed the administration’s plan to move forward, but it has not yet decided whether the measure is legal. The renewed request places the dispute back before the country’s highest court as the government seeks permission to enforce the voting restrictions.
