> The US Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail-in voting before the November midterm elections. The decision keeps states’ existing ballot-mailing practices in place and deals a setback to the president’s attempt to change election rules, while preventing possible last-minute legal challenges as voting begins in some states.
