## Resource

The Supreme Court just sided with election officials, blocking the Trump administration’s rushed mail ballot overhaul—meaning voters can keep using their current systems for this year’s midterms. The plan, which included strict new rules and a shaky online portal, faced fierce opposition from voting rights groups and state leaders who warned it could cripple mail-in voting right before Election Day. With lower courts already ruling against it and now the Supreme Court upholding that decision, the status quo remains—for now.
