On Monday, President Trump asked the Supreme Court to lift a block on his executive order that would significantly restrict mail-in voting ahead of midterms.
However, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson immediately denied the request just hours after it was filed.
Now, the Democrat-run plaintiff states have seven days to respond to the emergency application.
This means that a full ruling likely won’t take place for another week.
Here are the details:

President Trump’s election integrity executive order was signed back in March.
But, last month, an Obama judge halted key portions of it — specifically, President Trump’s directive to create a federal list of voters and require the USPS to limit mail-in ballots to verified voters.
The Hill provided some additional background:
Trump signed the executive order in March as part of his push to reshape mail-in voting and election administration over claims of mass fraud. Though officials have identified some instances of fraud and noncitizens placed on voter rolls, little evidence supports the magnitude of the president’s claims.
His executive order directs the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. It also instructs USPS to create new rules that would toughen requirements for states conducting voting by mail.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani halted parts of the order by ruling they violate the separation of powers. She is an appointee of former President Obama who serves on the federal bench in Boston.
The administration’s Supreme Court plea comes after a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit on Saturday declined to lift the judge’s order.
The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to intervene before it’s too late for the new rules to go into effect for midterms.
But, of course, Democrats need cheating to win.
So, they are doing everything in their power to stall out the election security executive order.

JUST IN: DEI Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson has DENIED President Trump’s immediate request to resume enforcement of his anti-mail in and noncitizen voter fraud executive order
OF COURSE she denied it!
The activist ruling against Trump will now hold until a response by August 3rd.
The Democrats are just going to RUN OUT THE CLOCK with this lawsuit to where the EO can’t be enforced.
ADVERTISEMENTSAVE AMERICA ACT NOW, GO AROUND THE COURTS
It’s absolutely ridiculous and shameful.
