WASHINGTON, D.C. — Concerns about mail-in ballots for the November election have been definitively allayed.
On Monday, September 14, the US Supreme Court “decided that states would continue to use the existing rules for the 2026 election, and that Trump’s EO would not go into effect,” according to former US Attorney Joyce Vance in her Civil Discourse blog.
Of course, Vance is not alone. Political commentary online celebrated (or condemned) this decision all day on Tuesday.
President Trump took to Truth Social to berate the justices who supported this decision.
“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal,” the president wrote.
We can now look forward to an election without complications regarding mail-in ballots. Which is not to say that other complications will not be instituted by our current administration as Election Day nears. Nor does it guarantee that the issue won't come up again as 2028 approaches.
