The Supreme Court Could Make It Harder to Vote by Mail in the Midterms - The New York Times

The Supreme Court is considering cases that could restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections. The cases involve challenges to state voting procedures, raising questions about whether the justices will narrow access to absentee ballots that have become central to American elections. A ruling against mail-in voting could significantly reduce voter participation, particularly among older voters, those with disabilities, and people in rural areas who rely on postal ballots. The timing puts the court at the center of a contentious voting-rights debate as the nation prepares for midterm contests. Any decision could reshape how millions of Americans cast ballots in 2026 and beyond.
