Blanche says Trump administration will comply with Supreme Court mail-voting ruling

  • Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Trump administration will follow the Supreme Court’s mail-voting ruling.
  • New Postal Service rules required unique barcodes and voter information submissions through a government portal.
  • Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, while Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority.

Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Trump administration will comply with the Supreme Court’s Monday ruling that effectively blocked the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing new mail-voting regulations before November’s midterm elections. The rules, finalized last month, would require mail-ballot envelopes to meet design standards including unique barcodes and would require state and local election officials to submit information about mail-ballot recipients to a government-operated portal. Several states have already begun sending ballots, and election officials said implementing the requirements on schedule would be difficult, warning that the policy could cause mass voter disenfranchisement. The Supreme Court said in a brief unsigned order that the government was unlikely to succeed on the merits in one challenge. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority. Blanche said President Trump was frustrated and had the right to criticize the court, while also saying the administration viewed the decision as wrong but would follow it.
