July 27 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to allow implementation nationwide of his executive order aimed at tightening rules for mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections that will decide control of Congress.
The Justice Department in a filing requested that the justices put on hold a judge’s ruling preventing the enforcement of the Republican president’s directive in 23 mostly Democratic-governed states and Washington D.C., which had challenged the order as unconstitutional, while the litigation plays out.
