With less than 100 days before high-stake midterm elections, Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to let him enforce an executive order that would impose sweeping restrictions on mail-in voting.

Monday’s emergency request followed last week’s federal appeals court decision that upheld a judge’s ruling to block the president’s executive action, which threatened to disenfranchise “many eligible voters” by restricting U.S. Postal Service delivery of ballots to voters who did not appear on a newly mandated list of eligible voters.

The appeals’ court majority determined that “unprecedented levels of involvement by federal officials in how states administer elections” would spark mass confusion and potentially disenfranchise eligible voters.

Trump — who has spent years baselessly insisting that voting by mail is ripe for fraud, and that manipulated ballots were “rigged” against him in elections he lost — is simultaneously demanding the Senate pass his Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, among other restrictions.

This is a developing story
