Supreme Court Denies Trump Bid To Unfreeze Mail-Ballot Rule

- Docket 26A305: the court rejected Trump's emergency plea after two lower-court losses.
- The blocked rule forced new envelopes and enrollment in an untested USPS tracking system.
- Twenty-four attorneys general and Pennsylvania's governor sued; a Massachusetts judge granted the injunction first.
Why it matters: The Postal Service tried to rewrite ballot rules by decree; only courts, not Congress, stopped it.
