The order had previously been blocked by a lower court, but the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision removed that injunction. The case was brought by the DOJ and GOP-led states, arguing the lower court&#8217;s decision was premature and that the shutdown could cause chaos in mail voting. Democrat-led states contended lifting the injunction could disrupt election processes. This marks a significant win for the Trump administration on the Court&#8217;s emergency docket, which has historically favored its requests. Meanwhile, the administration has experienced mixed results in other cases before the Court, with notable wins on issues like Trump&#8217;s firing power and temporary protected status, and losses on tariffs, birthright citizenship, and firing a Federal Reserve governor.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"203\">Supreme Court<\/a> clears a path for President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> mail-ballot executive order ahead of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-election\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11675\">midterm elections<\/a>, marking another key win for the administration on the high court\u2019s emergency docket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The emergency petition was brought to the high court last month by the DOJ and a coalition of GOP states, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.
