Tonight’s ruling by the Supreme Court stops the Postal Service’s last minute and unfair attempts to restrict mail-in ballots in order to disenfranchise voters and help the Republican Party.

It is sad to see the Court divided on such an easy case. Yet, not surprisingly it is the same two members whose ethics have been repeatedly questioned.

This entire episode was caused by an Administration illegally gaming the system to rig an election in their favor. This is just another attempt from an Administration that refuses to accept the will of the voters (aka J6), respect institutional norms, and has no idea what the word ‘no’ means.

“Number one, you need it for Congress — you need it for Congress for districting,” Trump said in 2019. “You need it for appropriations — where are the funds going? How many people are there? Are they citizens? Are they not citizens? You need it for many reasons.”

If adopted, the changes could exclude millions of residents from the decennial tally, reshaping congressional representation in the country.
