SCOTUS Blocks Trump’s Mail-in Ballot Rules

Yesterday, the Supreme Court stopped the Trump administration from implementing its United States Postal Service mail-in ballot plan, which was meant to strengthen election integrity before the midterms in November.

• The plan would require the Postal Service, a federal agency, to send ballots only to names and addresses verified by state governments. A lower court had issued an injunction to stop the plan, and the Supreme Court decision leaves that in place—right after the justices in late August allowed key parts of the same executive order to proceed.
• In March, President Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to compile lists of confirmed U.S. citizens in each state and directed the Postal Service to withhold mail ballots from anyone not on a separate, federally screened list—a departure from the routine voter lists states already provide to usps.
• A Boston judge blocked this plan, ruling that this measure sets voting rules, which the Postal Service has no authority to do.

The unsigned Supreme Court majority opinion said the administration was “unlikely to succeed on the merits” and sided with the 23 states, led by California, that had sued the administration. Reports say Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined.

• Justice Brett Kavanaugh voted to keep the rule blocked for the 2026 midterms and wrote a short concurrence saying that election officials lacked time to implement it, but he left open the chance it could be lawful later.
• Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing, among other things, that the Postal Service has broad power to regulate the mail.

Election fraud remains a major issue in American politics.

• 3,069,002: That was the total number of “possible illegal votes” tallied in the third volume of Dr. Peter Navarro’s 2021 study on electoral fraud in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin during the 2020 presidential elections.
• 312,992: That was the official margin of victory for Joe Biden in these six states, just 10 percent of that total. Therefore, the margin of error was 10 times greater than the margin of victory.

The one and only way that American citizens control their government is through elections. If their leaders are determined by anything other than citizens voting, Americans do not actually have a republic.

It is an open secret that Democrats stole the 2020 election from President Donald Trump. Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has consistently asserted since 2020, including in his book America Under Attack, that Donald Trump was the actual winner of the 2020 election and said repeatedly that Bible prophecy showed he would return to power. That was fulfilled in the 2024 elections.

• Mr. Flurry based his forecast on 2 Kings 14:26-28, which state that an end-time antitype of King Jeroboam ii would have to “war” to recover something of great importance that has been stolen from him.

The Supreme Court was instrumental in helping President Trump accomplish this victory in 2024, particularly with its rulings on Trump v. Anderson, Trump v. United States, and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. Yet the radical forces trying to blot out America’s republic have not disappeared.
