The U.S. Supreme Court rejects the Trump administration’s request to alter mail ballot rules for the upcoming midterm elections. Before the ruling, Attorney General Todd Blanche tells CBS News that he supports the effort and explains his position ahead of the Court’s decision.
Blanche also says the setback will not halt what he describes as election integrity efforts. The Washington Times reports that he argues the work to tighten or revise mail-in voting procedures continues beyond November, even though the Court does not revive President Trump’s plan to police mail-in ballots for the midterms.
Across the two outlets, the central development is the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant the administration’s bid. Both accounts present Blanche as maintaining that the underlying goals of his approach should proceed, while the Court’s action ends the specific attempt to implement the proposed rule changes through the administration’s litigation path.
