Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson on Monday evening denied President Trump’s request to immediately reinstate key parts of his executive order on mail-in ballots.
Justice Jackson gave the Democrat-run plaintiff states seven days to respond to Trump’s emergency application.
Last month, a federal judge blocked key parts of President Trump’s executive order on mail-in ballots.
Boston-based US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, blocked President Trump’s March 2025 executive order, specifically his attempt to create a federal voter list.
In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.
“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” the executive order said.
On Saturday, a federal appeals court refused to allow President Trump enforce key parts of his executive order.
President Trump filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court earlier Monday and Justice Jackson denied his request.
