NPR’s Steve Inskeep asked David Becker, an elections administration expert, what effect the Trump administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court on mail-in ballots could have on the midterm elections. NPR released the interview on Sept. 4. Becker discussed what the appeal could mean for mail-in voting in the midterm elections.
The appeal extends the Supreme Court’s review of the administration’s restrictions on mail-in voting. MSI previously reported that the court on Aug. 24 declined to block the order ahead of the midterms, after the court had weighed the Justice Department’s bid to lift an injunction blocking the restrictions.
