The Trump administration on Sunday renewed its emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to let the Postal Service enforce new restrictions on mail ballots in time for the midterms. A federal judge had extended an order blocking the rule. States are already sending ballots. The AP timed the filing to Sunday.
