<p>The Supreme Court just ruled that legal challenges to Donald Trump&#39;s anti-voting executive order were filed too soon, but the fight is just getting started. The U.S. Postal Service has since finalized a rule that could block your mail-in ballot unless your state hands over sensitive voter data to the federal government. In this episode, Democracy Docket&#39;s Marc Elias breaks down where the fight is headed next, from courts in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., to another likely showdown at the Supreme Court, and why Trump&#39;s own side built the legal doctrines that could end up sinking the rule. Plus, what&#39;s at stake for the 2026 midterms if it isn&#39;t stopped. </p>
