Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Allow Mail Voting Limits
Your options for voting are on the line.
The long and short of it is that this could dramatically change how people vote and overall voter turnout. Exactly how is the big question.
Voter turnout in midterm, off-year elections tends to be lower to start. Now, you're telling folks who normally vote by mail that they'll have to haul their cookies to a polling place. Right off the bat, that's going to suppress some votes. Add in the the people this truly disenfranchises, like the disabled and the elderly, and you are looking at a potential for much lower turnout.
On the other hand, many voters will see this for what it is, an attempt to suppress the vote, and decide to make sure their voices are heard. And that's not good for the Trump administration, because those motivated voters are more likely to be Democrats and like-minded independents.
