Nothing changes yet with the Supreme Court's order on mail voting. But it could open door to 'chaos'
Summary
The Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump’s order that limits mail voting to proceed for now, but it did not say the order is definitely legal. This delays the court fight, meaning election rules may stay the same for the November midterms, but uncertainty remains about mail voting in many states. The legal process will continue on a tight schedule as ballots start to be sent soon.Key Facts
