General norte-americano de alto escalão afirma que não há planos de enviar tropas para as eleições de meio de mandato de 2026.

O que está por trás da controvérsia do voto por correio nos EUA.

Two days after a federal judge blocked the US Postal Service (USPS) from enforcing Trump’s executive order, the administration on Sunday escalated the matter to the country’s highest court, asking justices to temporarily allow the agency to track mail-in ballots and decide whether they could be rejected.

The ongoing legal battle comes even as some states have already begun sending out postal ballots.

US District Judge Indira Talwani issued an order on Friday that said Trump’s directives, which would grant the federal government power over the handling of mail-in ballots, are likely unconstitutional.

In the US, elections – including ones for federal office – are carried out by states.

O juiz também criticou o momento da implementação da ordem executiva, escrevendo que, com apenas dois meses até o dia da eleição, ela “ameaça a exclusão de direitos de voto de milhões de cidadãos dos Estados Unidos que desejam votar por correio”.

But in its emergency filing on Sunday, the Trump administration countered Talwani’s ruling: “Contrary to the claims of the district court and respondents that the Postal Service is trying to federalise the rules for mail-in voting, the Postal Service’s final rule imposes only modest envelope-design and addressee-information requirements for federal-election ballots sent via U.

US Solicitor General John Sauer, who argues cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the federal government, said Trump’s order would not seize control of states’ right to administer elections, but would only impose “reasonable preparation requirements” for mail-in ballots.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson set a deadline of Wednesday for responses to the Trump administration’s request.

O protocolo apresentado no domingo marca a terceira vez que a administração Trump pediu ao Supremo Tribunal que intervenha. O tribunal recentemente autorizou o plano a avançar, mas não decidiu se ele é legal.

With control of the US Congress up for grabs in November, how the Supreme Court rules on the appeal could have major implications.

Apesar de votar por correio ele próprio, Trump tem buscado limitar essa modalidade desde que assumiu o cargo, alegando falsamente que ela está repleta de fraudes.

Os opositores afirmam que a motivação do presidente é mais simples, argumentando que os democratas votam por correio mais do que os republicanos.

An analysis conducted by the States United Democracy Center found that many voters, no matter their political affiliation, cast their ballots by mail. The research found that one in four registered Democrats and one in five registered Republicans voted by mail in the 2024 presidential election.
