Attorney General Blanche says Trump administration will comply with Supreme Court ruling blocking USPS mail ballot restrictions

On September 14, 2026, the Supreme Court issued an emergency order blocking the U.S. Postal Service from implementing new mail-in ballot regulations ahead of the November 3, 2026 midterm elections. The rules would have required states to provide voter-specific data through a government portal and use agency-approved envelopes with barcodes. Attorney General Todd Blanche said on September 15 that the administration would comply with the ruling while continuing election integrity efforts, and defended President Trump's Truth Social criticism of the justices.
