The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Reuters reports that on Monday, August 24, 2026, the Supreme Court lifted one court order blocking the administration from implementing Trump's executive order restricting mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms.[1][6]
Supports. NBC, Politico, and NPR independently report the 6-3 Supreme Court action lifting the June injunction by Judge Talwani that had blocked key parts of the order.[3][4][5]
Context. A separate Talwani injunction from August 11, brought by voting-rights groups, still blocks the Postal Service from implementing the order nationwide, so the order was not fully unblocked.[1][5][8][9]
Context. The Supreme Court's ruling was procedural, finding the states' challenge premature, and did not decide the order's legality; later September coverage reports further appellate and Supreme Court rulings against the administration on the Postal Service provisions.[2][7][10]
