Trump asks Supreme Court to allow mail-in voting curbs

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to allow sweeping mail-in voting restrictions ahead of November's midterm elections. The emergency filing seeks to pause a lower court ruling that blocked Trump's March executive order in 23 Democratic-led states and Washington, DC. The order would create voter lists and limit mail ballots to those on them. A federal judge ruled Trump lacked authority to change state election rules.
