The US Supreme Court's rejecting President Trump's attempt to restrict mail-in voting ahead of November's midterm elections.

More from NPR's Hansi Lo Wang.

A plan the US Postal Service came up with to respond to an executive order by President Trump is still blocked.

That plan included new mail-in ballot requirements that states would have had to follow in order to get their ballots delivered by USPS.

But a federal judge in Boston found those requirements are likely illegal because USPS has no authority to impose them on states.

And this new Supreme Court order rejects the Trump administration's request to pause the judge's ruling.

President Trump fired back, saying the Supreme Court justices who opposed him are not the people he interviewed.

Voting advocates are cheering a new US Supreme Court ruling.

NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reports it rejects President Trump's push for new restrictions on mail-in voting ballots.

The US Postal Service is expected to continue delivering ballots as usual for the midterm general election.

That's because the Supreme Court is keeping a block on new ballot requirements that USPS tried to impose on states following an executive order from President Trump.

In a concurring opinion, conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that he voted to keep the USPS plan blocked because there was not enough time to carry it out for the midterms without violating federal law.

But Kavanaugh noted he believes there's, quote, "at least a fair prospect that USPS has the legal authority to implement this plan." The Trump administration is continuing to appeal a lower court ruling to defend the possibility of using the plan for future federal elections.

The Supreme Court ruling means the US Postal Service is expected to continue delivering ballots as usual for the midterm general election.

At issue was whether the Postal Service has the authority to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to voters in states where election officials do not turn over voter lists to the mailing agency and do not have certain barcodes on their ballot envelopes.

Now, the Supreme Court has decided to keep the judge's ruling in place.

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected President Trump's push to restrict mail-in ballots before this year's midterm elections.

NPR's Hansi Lo Wang says the decision blocks Trump's order to the Postal Service to come up with a plan.

Postal Service plan for President Trump's attempt to restrict mail-in voting for the midterm elections.

As NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reports, the U.S. Supreme Court is still reviewing an earlier lower court ruling that blocks key parts of Trump's plan.

This latest ruling is by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a nominee of President Trump.

Nichols found the U.S.

If a majority of the justices allow the USPS plan to move ahead, many election officials are worried about major disruptions to mail-in voting that's underway in some states.

Many disabled voters and those living in places without polling sites are also at risk of losing the ability to exercise their right to vote.

The plan would reshape voting maps, and that would affect how federal funding is distributed across the country.

According to the Fourteenth Amendment, the quote, "whole number of persons in each state" must be included in the census numbers used to determine each state's share of congressional seats and electoral college votes for a decade.

But the Trump administration's proposal argues the Constitution's framers did not intend for the word "persons" to include people living in the states who do not have U.S. citizenship or a green card.

It is an attempt to make Latinos and other communities disappear in the 2030 census.

The public can comment on the proposal through October 13th.
