States renew fight against Trump's mail-in voting rule

The Court didn't say the rule was legal. It said the states filed the paperwork on the wrong day.

A coalition of states is again seeking to shut down President Trump's sweeping Postal Service rule on mail-in voting, just days after the Supreme Court struck down a lower court's ban on his executive order. The big picture: The Supreme Court's decision essentially said the states sued too early. Now, the states are hoping their timing is right to kneecap the plan ahead of the midterms. The ruling didn't weigh the merits of Trump's order, which critics warn would expand federal power over state-run elections. Driving the news: The complaint, which was brought by 24 attorneys general and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, challenges the U.S. Postal Services' final rule outlining the implementation of Trump's mail-in voting provisions. This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
