法律专家对最高法院的最新裁决提出了严峻质疑；该裁决让特朗普总统的政府在限制邮寄选票的努力中暂时获胜。
周一，法院解除了一项下级法院禁令，该禁令原本阻止特朗普关于邮寄选票的行政命令执行。该命令要求邮政署列出使用邮寄选票的选民，并指示国土安全部建立自己的选民名册。该指令是特朗普长期攻击邮寄投票的一部分；尽管他在佛罗里达最近多次选举中都通过邮寄方式投票，他仍将邮寄投票称为“fraud”。
这项裁决并未终结法律争斗，也让选举官员和投票权倡导者回到一个熟悉的位置：等待案件超越程序性问题，进入实体审理。随着 11 月投票临近，尽管这场争议持续考验联邦指令与州级选举管理之间的平衡，其实际影响仍然不确定。
选举创新与研究中心执行主任 David Becker，以及 Loyola University 法学教授 Jessica Levinson，在 CNN 的《The Lead》节目中讨论了这项裁决。
Becker 表示，该命令不可能在中期选举前落实，尽管他补充说，这仍可能影响选举结果。
“There's no way to implement this,” Becker said. “This would be a sweeping seizure of election power from the states. Under any circumstances. It would be hard to do this with two or four years of advance notice. It is impossible to do that with about 70 days of advance notice.”
Levinson 表示，最高法院的裁决留下了许多未解决的问题，同时也提出了一些仍待回答的疑问。
“It's very typical in the sense that a lot of times the fighting over executive orders is initially all based on these procedural matters that we're talking about right now,” she said. “Who has standing to sue? Can you bring the case? Do you have to wait for something to bring the case? And then later you get to the merits when it comes to the harms.”
“It's very unlikely that any rules will change prior to voting in November, and so when it comes to is this an emergency circumstance for the states, I think the answer at this point is 'no' because they won't be asked to change anything or forced to change anything,” Levinson said. “I suspect ... the question becomes what to do next? And this is litigation that will absolutely continue. This is not the end of the case. Not by a long shot.”
