And this, my friends, is how elections get stolen. Or, more accurately, this is one of the major steps in a multi-pronged plan to rig the 2026 midterms.

A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with plans to restrict mail-in voting before the midterm elections.

In an emergency order, the justices said President Trump could proceed with implementing an executive order he had signed, which directed the U.S. Postal Service to help decide which voters should receive mail-in ballots. Under the executive order, the Department of Homeland Security will also create lists of U.S. citizens that the administration believes could be used to monitor voter rolls for noncitizens.

The decision means the administration can move ahead with planning for restricting the use of mail ballots even as a lower court continues to weigh the legality of Mr. Trump's executive order. But with little more than two months until Election Day — and considerably less before early voting begins in many states — it remains unclear whether the White House's rules will be in effect for a midterm election in which control of both chambers is at stake.
