美国最高法院驳回特朗普限制邮寄选票行政令

ONE POLITICAL ACTIVIST HERE WHO WORKS ON AI POLICY PUT IT TO ME THIS WAY. HE SAID, YOU KNOW, BEFORE EVERYBODY HAD THEIR RANGE OF PET ISSUES, BUT NOW AI IS CLEARLY THE ALLIGATOR THAT'S CLOSEST TO THE BOAT, AND SO EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE PART OF THE SAME TEAM AND GROW AWAY FROM THE ALLIGATOR TOGETHER. HI EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME TO HERE'S THE SCOOP FROM NBC NEWS. I'M YASMIN VOSSOUGHIAN. SO OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT AI.

WELL, TODAY, THERE IS A PRO-HUMAN ASSEMBLY HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON DC. WHAT IS THAT, YOU ASK? WELL, WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE, EXCEPT WE'RE TALKING NOW TO JARED PERLOW, OUR NBC AI REPORTER WHO'S ON THE GROUND FOR US THERE. AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS, ALONG WITH STEVE BANNON ARE THERE, AND THEN SOME OTHER FOLKS, SOME FROM HOLLYWOOD AS WELL. UM, THAT ARE THERE. SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT. AND THEN THERE IS THE EPA WHO IS ROLLING BACK RESTRICTIONS ON EMISSIONS FROM POWER PLANTS.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE DOWN IN TEXAS, AND THERE COULD BE CONSEQUENCES TO BOTH OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR HEALTH. UP FIRST THOUGH, SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH ABOUT MAIL-IN VOTING AHEAD OF THE MIDTERMS, BUT THIS WEEK, THE SUPREME COURT MADE IT OFFICIAL. YOUR POSTAL VOTE IS GOING TO IN FACT COUNT. IN A 72 VOTE, THE JUSTICES BLOCKED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER TO RESTRICT THE PRACTICE, REJECTING THE ADMINISTRATION'S EMERGENCY APPLICATION, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP CLEARLY WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

HE SLAMMED THE JUSTICES ON TRUE SOCIAL, INCLUDING THE ONES THAT HE NOMINATED, SAYING THAT THEY LACKED COURAGE AND WERE SHELLS OF THEIR FORMER SELVES. SO IS THIS FINALLY OVER? ARE MAIL-IN BALLOTS BACK FOR GOOD, OR CAN WE EXPECT MORE LITIGATION? BEFORE OR AFTER THE MIDTERMS. FOR THIS, I WANT TO BRING IN JANE C TIM. SHE'S A SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER FOR US COVERING ALL THINGS ELECTIONS. WHAT DOES THE C STAND FOR? CARRIE, JANE CARRIE TIM, JCT.

THAT'S ME. ALL RIGHT, REMIND US OF THIS ORDER, WHAT IT SAID AND WHY THE SUPREME COURT BLOCKED IT. SO BACK IN MARCH, PRESIDENT TRUMP ORDERED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CREATE LISTS ITIZENS AND GIVE THEM TO THE POSTAL SERVICE AND SAID ONLY DELIVER BALLOTS TO THOSE PEOPLE. ONCE THE RULES WERE FINALLY MADE THROUGH THE USPS, IT TURNED INTO ELECTION OFFICIALS GIVING THE POST OFFICE LISTS OF CITIZENS THAT WERE ON THEIR VOTER ROLLS AND SAYING ONLY DELIVER BALLOTS TO THE PEOPLE WE'VE TOLD YOU TO DELIVER BALLOTS TO, INSERTING THEM INTO THE PROCESS IN THIS INCREDIBLY COMPLEX WAY.

THE ORDER FROM THE SUPREME COURT SAYS IT'S TOO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION. WE CAN'T ENFORCE THIS AND IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. WHY WAS THE PRESIDENT SO SET ON DOING THIS? YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS THAT THERE'S RAMPANT NON-CITIZEN VOTE. THAT MAIL BALLOTS ARE RIFE WITH FRAUD. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE FOR THESE THINGS. A HANDFUL OF NON-CITIZENS CAST A BALLOT EVERY YEAR, USUALLY BY ACCIDENT. UH, VOTER FRAUD IS INCREDIBLY RARE, UH, BUT PARTICULARLY NON-CITIZEN VOTING VOTER FRAUD IS.

EVEN RARER
