Supreme Court lifts obstacle to Trump’s March mail-ballot order

The Supreme Court lifted a lower-court freeze on President Trump’s March executive order, allowing it to move forward while legal challenges continue. The order directs federal agencies to compile citizenship lists and calls for the Postal Service to restrict ballot delivery under specified rules. The New York Times emphasized that the unsigned emergency ruling was preliminary and did not decide whether the order is lawful, while the Wall Street Journal noted that further litigation is likely.
