WASHINGTON – The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to approve an executive order from President Donald Trump related to mail-in voting. The order's implementation could affect how states conduct elections before the upcoming midterm elections. Legal representatives for the administration filed the request, seeking the court's intervention. President Trump issued the executive order earlier, outlining specific provisions concerning mail-in ballot processes. The administration argues for the order's necessity in election procedures.
