Supreme Court Delivers Trump a Major Victory on Ballot Security and Postal Voting [WATCH]

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to proceed with efforts tied to an executive order addressing citizenship verification and mail-in voting, overturning a lower court injunction that had blocked the administration from moving forward, as reported by The Post Millennial.

In a 6-3 decision, the justices reversed a June injunction involving President Donald Trump’s executive order, which includes directives concerning voter eligibility verification and rules for states that conduct elections by mail.

More than 20 Democrat-led states had challenged the administration’s actions in court. However, the Supreme Court concluded that the states lacked standing at this stage because it remained unclear exactly how federal agencies would implement the order.

“The Court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell. But the Order itself does not harm the States, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the Government from trying to implement it,” the unsigned opinion states.

The decision does not represent a final ruling on whether every action taken under the executive order will ultimately survive future legal challenges.

Instead, the Court determined that the lower court did not have jurisdiction to prevent the federal government from attempting to implement the order before specific measures had been finalized.

The case centers on Trump’s Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections executive order, which he signed in March.

Among other provisions, the order directed the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of U.S. citizens eligible to vote.

It also instructed the United States Postal Service to develop rules imposing stricter requirements on states that use voting by mail.

Those proposed requirements could include withholding ballots from individuals who have not been identified as eligible U.S. citizens under the verification process established through the administration’s efforts.

The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court in July after the lower court issued its injunction.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that the courts had acted before federal agencies had completed their work on implementing the executive order.

According to the administration, agencies including the USPS were still determining what steps, if any, they would take under the directive.

Sauer wrote that the injunction “is especially indefensible because the agencies are still deliberating over how (if at all) to implement the Order, yet the district court preemptively decided that whatever the agencies may choose to do will necessarily be unlawful.”

The Supreme Court’s decision allows the administration to continue developing and potentially implementing policies under the executive order while leaving the door open for future legal challenges to specific actions.

For now, the ruling removes the lower court’s broad block and returns the focus to how the administration and federal agencies will carry out the directive.

In other words, the legal fight over election rules is far from finished, but the Supreme Court has made clear that courts cannot simply assume every possible future policy will be unlawful before those policies are actually finalized.
