US President Donald Trump achieved a temporary victory in the Supreme Court by promoting the use of US Post to restrict mail-in ballots for the November midterm elections. However, the court also left room for another legal challenge against this measure in the next few days. Despite opposition from three liberal justices, the Supreme Court on Monday suspended execution of a Boston federal court ruling aimed at preventing full implementation of key parts of Trump's executive order. Even with the Supreme Court's ruling, there is no guarantee that the relevant measures will still be implemented during this year's midterm elections, and the dispute may return to the Supreme Court again soon. The ruling only addresses whether it is too early to file lawsuits in a few states led by California, not whether Trump has the power to enforce these rules. In an unsigned opinion, the court stated, “The court's handling of this application does not mean that any measures taken by the government to implement the order are necessarily lawful. Time will tell about this.”
