6 GOP Secretaries of State Ask Supreme Court to Block Trump Mail Ballot Rule
3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Sep 10
Summary
Six Republican secretaries of state urged the Supreme Court to keep the Trump administration’s new mail-in ballot rule from taking effect before the 2026 midterms.
Their amicus filing said a late rollout would significantly raise the risk of election problems, disrupting ballot administration in states already preparing for November voting.
The officials came from Kentucky, North Dakota, South Dakota, Georgia, New Hampshire and Kansas, extending earlier Republican election-official warnings that the change is arriving too late.
The dispute reaches the high court with the rule already blocked by a federal injunction, and opponents again invoking the Purcell principle against last-minute election changes.
