Aug. 7 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the Trump administration's request to allow it to restrict mail-in voting soon.
The Justice Department requested that the high court make a decision by mid-August. It is asking the court to lift an injunction that is blocking President Donald Trump's March executive order to further restrict mail-in voting.
The executive order requires that states share their voter rolls with the federal government and calls for the U.S. Postal Service to issue a rule that it will refuse mail-in ballots to people that do not meet the administration's narrowed requirements.
Aaron Blacksberg, federal policy counsel with the Institute for Responsive Government, told UPI about the potential outcomes from the Supreme Court.
