Trump Scores Major Court Win For Election Integrity

A federal appeals court has allowed key portions of President Trump’s election integrity executive order to move forward.

The ruling permits the U.S. Postal Service to require states seeking to mail ballots in the midterm elections to submit voter rolls for citizenship verification and comply with enhanced ballot-tracking requirements.

The legal battle is far from over. Opponents are still challenging the order, and additional court rulings could affect its ultimate enforcement.

Keep pushing. Election integrity remains on the line.

Benny Johnson: Big Election Integrity Win for Trump Administration

One night after delivering a national address on election integrity, President Trump has achieved a major legal victory.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has temporarily cleared the way for the U.S. Postal Service to move forward with its proposed election mail rule, staying a lower court order that had blocked the policy.

The proposed rule would require states to provide voter registration lists and serialized ballot barcodes before USPS would process and deliver federal election ballots through the mail.

In its ruling, the appeals panel said USPS is likely to prevail on appeal for two separate reasons.

First, the court found the legal challenge was likely premature because it targets a proposed, not final, rule. Second, the panel indicated the policy would likely not violate the Postal Service’s 2021 settlement agreement with the NAACP.

The judges also accepted USPS’s argument that leaving the injunction in place would prevent the agency from finalizing the rule in time for the 2026 elections.

President Trump gets a big win in court as the administration pursues further election security measures, such as passing the SAVE America Act.
