Kavanaugh's concurrence was on narrower grounds, but that leaves SIX justices - including Roberts, Barrett, and Gorsuch, who agreed that the administration was unlikely to win on the merits. By current Supreme Court standards, this case was not even close.

KAVANAUGH, J., concurring
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A305
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. v.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received
at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that
the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory
authority. See 39 U. S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule
in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in
violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state
and local election officials do not have sufficient time to
reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I
concur in the denial of the application for stay.

Alito and Thomas dissent, with a longer opinion. Bottom line: bad news for the executive order and new USPS rules. At least six of the justices appear to think it will likely lose on the merits. In any case, the new mail voting restrictions are dead for at least the midterms. @heidilifeldman

And there are states (both red and blue) that rely on vote by mail as a primary voting method. Requiring those states to not send out their ballots until the USPS systems are ready is tantamount to telling them they can't hold elections in November, which is a position that even the most rabidly […]
