The Trump administration has taken its fight over tighter mail-in voting rules back to the U.S. Supreme Court, less than two months before the U.S. midterm elections.

The government asked the justices to suspend a lower-court decision that currently prevents it from putting the new rules into effect. It filed the request as an emergency application and is seeking a quick ruling from the nation’s highest court.

Critics believe President Donald Trump is trying to make voting by mail more difficult. A federal judge described the plans as “probably unconstitutional,” adding a sharp legal warning to an already urgent dispute over the rules.
