The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 on Monday to lift a lower‑court injunction that had halted a June executive order by former President Donald Trump that limits mail‑in voting, though a separate injunction remains in place. A federal judge in Massachusetts issued the injunction in June, finding that the order likely conflicted with federal voting rights law. The Supreme Court’s decision follows a split along the Court’s ideological lines. The majority held that the injunction should be dismissed, allowing the administration to pursue the order. A second injunction issued by a different court continues to block certain provisions of the order. The ruling leaves the case open to further litigation before the November midterm elections. Democratic leaders said the decision could suppress voter turnout, while Republican officials said it helps ensure election security. State election officials said they will review the order and adjust procedures as needed. The ultimate effect on the upcoming elections remains unresolved.
