US Supreme Court rejects Trump’s bid to restrict mail-in voting
The US Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections in November. This was reported by Deutsche Welle English. The decision allows states to continue sending mail-in ballots under procedures they have used for many years.

Trump asked the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling. That ruling blocked his initiative to restrict mail-in voting. The Supreme Court denied the request.
