On Monday, August 24, 2026, the Supreme Court lifted a lower-court injunction and allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with parts of its March executive order restricting mail-in voting, so the claim's date and core assertion hold.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What we found
Supports. Reuters reports that the Supreme Court on Monday lifted one court order blocking Trump's executive order restricting mail-in ballots, with the ruling dated August 24, 2026.[1]
Supports. AP reports that the Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for Trump to move ahead with his executive order restricting mail-in voting.[2]
Supports. The New York Times and CNN report that the justices allowed the Trump administration to proceed with parts of the order, including DHS compiling lists and USPS rulemaking, ahead of the midterms.[3][4][5]
Context. The ruling was on an emergency application and was procedural: the Court said the states' challenge was premature and did not decide the order's legality. The Postal Service's key mail-ballot provision remains blocked in a separate case.[5][6][7][8][9]
Context. The claim's date is consistent with the posted day: the post refers to 'yesterday' and was published August 25, 2026, so the decision date is August 24.[1][2][3][6]
