Campaign for Trump asks Supreme Court to stop NC absentee ballot plan

BY JOSEPH CHOI

The reelection campaign for the President has again asked the Supreme Court to block North Carolina's absentee ballot plan after unsuccessfully attempting to have it struck down through a U.S. federal appeals court.

A news report from Reuters said the plan Trump’s campaign is contesting would allow absentee ballots that arrive by Nov. 12 to be counted in North Carolina as long as they are postmarked before Nov. 3. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 12-3 decision that it would deny a bid to stop North Carolina from tallying ballots in that time frame.

In a Thursday filing with the Supreme Court on Thursday, the Trump campaign requested an emergency injunction to strike it down.
