The US supreme court issued a fragile win for voting rights – the real test comes later | Claire Finkelstein
The courtâs decision was based entirely on the timing of proposed new mail-in ballot rules. The larger question could re-emerge
Last weekâs supreme court decision upholding the district courtâs restraining order on USPSâs mail-in ballot restrictions is being hailed as a victory for electoral integrity by politicians, political commentators and voting rights advocates alike. The senator Chuck Schumer, for example, called the decision âone of the most important cases to protect voting rights before the supreme courtâ. But the unsigned, three-sentence opinion, with only a brief concurrence and a lengthy dissent, is no such thing.
The court based its brief opinion entirely on the timing of the roll-out of the new rules, which became effective on 21 August, just weeks away from the midterm elections and only days before several states were scheduled to begin mailing out their ballots. Californiaâs submission to the court, joined by twenty-two states and the district of Columbia, asking the court to leave the injunction against the rule change in place, made clear that compliance with the rules in advance of the midterms would not only be difficult; it would be impossible without disenfranchising thousands of voters. And that, of course, is the point.
