BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown has issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court declined the Trump administration’s request to stay the preliminary injunction blocking the U.S. Postal Service’s unlawful mail voting rule, leaving that injunction in place through the November 3 election:
“The Supreme Court got it right. The Postal Service has no business deciding who gets a ballot and who doesn’t. This rule was a transparent attempt to seize control of elections that belong to the states, on a timeline that would likely have left eligible voters behind. Because of yesterday’s decision, the Trump administration is blocked from interfering with the right of voters across the country, including those here in Maryland, to vote by mail this November. Our coalition’s fight against this rule isn’t over. But today, the right to vote by mail is protected for this election.”
