The United States Supreme Court decided against President Donald Trump, rejecting his efforts to impose new restrictions on mail-in voting for this year's midterm elections. The decision was announced on Monday.

The case involved the Trump administration's attempts to limit or modify mail-in voting rules, which became a controversial issue during the COVID-19 pandemic and the electoral period.

The Supreme Court, the country's highest court, made the decision not to allow the president's proposed restrictions to take effect for the midterm elections.

This decision represents a significant defeat for the Trump administration on issues related to the electoral process and access to mail-in voting.

Why this matters

The decision directly affects voters who intend to vote by mail in the midterm elections, allowing them to continue using this method without new barriers. The ruling represents a significant moment in the ongoing dispute over voting rules in the United States.

Flávio begins tour of the Northeast with rising poll numbers, but facing resistance from local allies

The new Quaest poll shows Lula with 52% in the Northeast in the first round, against 20% for Bolsonaro, and 60% to 28% in a potential second round, while in the national scenario the PL candidate rose from 29% to 31%.
