What happened

Well supportedReported by 31 independent outlets

The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that President Donald Trump’s executive order regarding mail-in ballots could not take effect so close to the election. The order sought to require states to implement a standardized design for mail-in ballot envelopes and upload voter eligibility data to a new online portal. The order was challenged in a federal district court, and the administration noted that the ruling was not the final word on the matter.
