Trump Blasted as Judge Says She’s “Flabbergasted” by Plan to Deny Mail in Ballots to Voters
Summary
Michael Popok analyzes the Trump administration's emergency Supreme Court application to block a judge's order halting new USPS rules that threaten to suppress mail-in ballots. He details how the postal service is weaponizing envelope standards and a citizenship verification portal to disenfranchise voters, noting that rural red voters are also at risk. Popok argues that the Court’s decision to delay briefing until Tuesday signals they are unlikely to grant an immediate stay, protecting the vote ahead of the midterms.
