President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court after it rejected his effort to limit the use of mail-in ballots, questioning the justices’ understanding of his position.
The ruling leaves existing mail-voting policies in place, preserving access for voters who rely on absentee ballots.
Trump said the decision reflected a court different from the one he expected, remarking, “These are not the people I interviewed.”
The dispute adds to the broader political fight over election administration, ballot access and the role of the federal courts.
Mail voting has remained a frequent target of Republican criticism, while Democrats and voting-rights advocates argue that it is a secure and essential option for millions of voters.
The court’s decision is likely to fuel further debate ahead of future elections, particularly in states where lawmakers are considering new restrictions or expanded voting access.
