NEW: A federal judge refused to dismiss a pro-voting lawsuit against Trump's anti-mail voting executive order, writing that "disenfranchisement as to the upcoming election is plausibly likely and imminent" if allowed to stand.
As a result, the ruling sets the stage for the challenge to stand. https://t.co/b8h6kgAj9I
Yesterday, nonpartisan voting rights groups filed a motion urging a federal court to stop the USPS from implementing parts of President Trump's executive order restricting mail voting, warning the unlawful policy harms voters and the organizations that help them prepare to cast their ballots. https://t.co/T9MLm2pSTd

BREAKING: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission now has no commissioners after President Trump terminated two members and the agency’s remaining Republican commissioner resigned. The bipartisan agency was formed to help states administer accurate, secure elections. https://t.co/fiEh5MWEkm

@US_Vote@BrennanCenter@CovingtonLLP The role of military and overseas civilian voters in this effort was paramount. The Supreme Court opinion relied heavily on UOCAVA, a law that safeguards voting for military and overseas civilian voters, and the opinion incorporated many historical points raised in our brief.

On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled in Watson v. Republican National Committee @GOP that federal law does not prevent states from counting absentee ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but received within a state-established grace period.
