Hochul Blasts SCOTUS Move Curbing Mail-In Voting

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday slammed the Supreme Court's preliminary decision allowing President Trump's executive order targeting mail-in voting to proceed. In video remarks, Hochul insisted mail-in voting is "secure" and "safe," and branded efforts to restrict it as "depraved." She argued voters should retain the right to cast ballots by mail without added restrictions. The comments come as the Trump administration pushes to tighten election security measures nationwide, a move critics call an assault on ballot access but supporters say is overdue given long-standing concerns about mail-in voting integrity. The Supreme Court's decision allows the order to move forward for now, though further legal challenges are expected. Hochul's remarks add to a growing partisan clash over how America conducts its elections heading into future contests.
