The Trump administration filed its third emergency appeal to the Supreme Court seeking to restrict mail-in voting for the November midterm elections. The appeal came after a federal judge extended an order blocking new restrictions on mail-in voting that the administration had sought to enforce through the Postal Service. The timing coincided with states already beginning to send out mail ballots to voters, with some ballots like those in North Carolina already entering the mail.
