Here's what they actually ruled on from CNBC:

  • The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move forward for now with key parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in voting.
  • The unsigned order lifted a lower-court injunction covering 23 states and Washington, D.C. The court’s three liberal justices dissented.
  • A separate nationwide injunction still blocks the Postal Service from implementing its new mail-ballot procedures for the Nov. 3 elections.

You can still vote by mail according to that last bullet point

    For now? Election day is a little over two months away, and they couldn't tell him "Maybe next time"?

    I said before and I'll say again

    DO

    NOT

    VOTE

    BY

    MAIL

    ITS

    RIGGED

    If you live in a "by mail only" state, call your governor and district reps and demand they immediately set up in-person voting options for this election season.

    SCOTUS JUST GREENLIT TRUMP'S COUP. THIS IS THE BIGGEST RED ALERT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY YET

    In mandatory vote by mail states, at least Oregon specifically, you will have to receive your ballot by mail but you can return it to physical drop boxes typically located in local government centers or libraries. My guess is ballot delivery will continue since they are sent presorted from each local county clerk office, but the return mailing where they end up at USPS processing centers will make them disappear real fast. If you get a ballot, RETURN IN PERSON.

    I believe if you do not receive your ballot sheet in the mail, you can also request a new ballot direct from the county clerk's office.

    My guess is USPS is going to flatly refuse to deliver any ballots by mail.

    Dems need to get off their asses, come up with an alternative and scream about it from the rooftops.

    We've already seen that no matter how public something is, millions of leftists will remain unaware of it for months or years, like Epstein's ties to Israel and Israel's Epstein blackmail on Trump.

    We knew about this long before the 2024 election, yet you still had millions of leftists held Trump by sitting out the election or help Trump by pissing away their votes on a 3rd party.

    When I googled that was the list I got, but I know that California, at least, still has in-person voting too.

    California has "universal mail-in voting", not "mail-only". Meaning every voter is eligible to vote by mail, not that in-person voting is unavailable.

    Washington is similar in that you can vote in person but it’s still considered an all-mail voting state. Our voting centers wouldn’t be large enough to handle everyone voting in person. (Though hopefully we work to switch that up come midterms.)

    I can’t speak to California, but I’d wager it still varies state to state a bit.

    Washington is an all-mail voting state. Individuals who prefer to vote in person rather than by mail may do so at local voting centers, which are open for 18 days before the election. The voting period ends at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Contact your county elections department for more information on voting center locations and times.[

    Vote by mail only is genuinely insane to me.

    Maybe you're falling for conservative propaganda then? We don't need to make the basic operations of democracy hard.

    We should have a universal day off to vote. I work in shipping, I see how shit gets lost, and it makes me believe that we should not find that a reasonable procedure. I also see the people that work in those kinds of industries...

    Propaganda is not what I've fallen for. You have real cases of conservative mail drivers dumping ballots.

    Which is why "mail only" states have a ballot tracker, abundant amounts of ballot drop boxes, and the ability to print ballots at home. In WA, you can cut out the mail service entirely.
