Unlawful power grabLeans Left

Trump’s order is an illegal or authoritarian seizure of control over mail voting. The Supreme Court wrongly enabled that power grab by clearing the way for restrictions it should have stopped.

Election integrityLeans Right

Trump’s mail-ballot order is a lawful and legitimate attempt to strengthen election integrity. The Supreme Court was right to let it proceed, especially because the challengers lacked a proper basis to block it.
