Solo doce fiscales generales republicanos respaldan orden de voto por correo de Trump

Solo doce fiscales generales republicanos respaldan orden de voto por correo de Trump

Según Democracy Docket, el 31 de agosto solo doce de los veintisiete fiscales generales republicanos de los estados presentaron amicus briefs defendiendo la orden ejecutiva de la administración Trump que restringe el voto por correo, mientras los estados dirigidos por demócratas continúan solicitando una medida cautelar. Previo a ello, la Corte Suprema de EE. UU. emitió en agosto de 2026 una serie de decisiones que levantaron bloqueos de tribunales inferiores, permitiendo al Servicio Postal aplicar nuevas normas de votación por correo en veintitrés estados y el Distrito de Columbia (NBC News).

La votación 6-3 que anuló la medida cautelar fue seguida por una orden de emergencia que suspendió una sentencia de un tribunal de distrito que bloqueaba partes clave de la orden (NPR). Posteriormente, un juez federal de Boston revocó una orden judicial nacional, autorizando al Servicio Postal a continuar, pero más tarde ese mismo juez emitió una segunda orden que prohibía los requisitos por falta de tiempo y fondos antes de las elecciones de noviembre (Al Jazeera, también reportado por AP News y The Guardian). Los estados controlados por demócratas presentaron demandas alegando que la normativa excede la autoridad federal (Los Angeles Times). El Servicio Postal anunció que los nuevos requisitos para el manejo de boletas por correo ya están vigentes para las elecciones intermedias, lo que ha generado nuevos litigios (The Guardian).
