The Supreme Court's ruling is not expected to lead to any widespread removal of voters before the November election because federal law prohibits election officials from systematically unregistering voters within 90 days of an election. bit.ly/4Ay4V0F

Will the 2026 midterms happen? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Elections happen because thousands of local officials follow state and local laws requiring them to happen — and history shows they’ve done so before, even under immense pressure.

The justices found that nothing in federal law prevents states from enacting grace periods for absentee ballots to be received, as long as they are actually cast and mailed by Election Day. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia currently have such grace periods.

Right now, federal law requires such records to be kept for 22 months. The order more than doubles that requirement, and does so without specifically defining what counts as evidence of “voter participation in any Federal election.” bit.ly/4vjeEp6

This week, President Donald Trump issued a second executive order on elections, this one giving the U.S. Postal Service unprecedented oversight over who is voting by mail, a move experts and state election officials said will quickly draw legal challenges. www.votebeat.org/national/202...
Under a photo of President Donald Trump, text reads: "Trump issues second executive order on elections, giving U.S. Postal Service unprecedented control over mail voting. Much of Trump's first executive order on elections has been blocked in court. This one, too, is likely to be legally challenged."
