‘Letting the Country Down’: Trump Criticises Court After Setback on Mail Voting
US President Donald Trump has criticised the Supreme Court after the justices rejected his attempt to restrict the use of mail-in ballots.
Trump accused the Supreme Court of “letting the country down”, renewing his long-standing criticism of voting by mail and the way elections are conducted in the United States.
The ruling represents a setback for Trump's efforts to impose tighter restrictions on mail-in voting. Trump has repeatedly argued that stricter election procedures are necessary to protect the integrity of US elections.
His latest remarks are likely to intensify the political debate over mail-in ballots, election administration and voting rules ahead of future US elections.
The Supreme Court's decision also highlights the continuing tension between the Trump administration's election-policy agenda and judicial scrutiny of measures affecting voting procedures.
