0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

Many US states are angry about a new order from President Trump. The order is about mail-in voting. Mail-in voting lets people vote by post.

Trump gave an order about how the postal service must handle these votes. Twenty-four states do not agree with this order.

These states have Democratic leaders. Democratic is the name of one big political group in the US.

The states filed a lawsuit. A lawsuit is when people ask a court to decide something.

They want to stop the postal service from following Trump's order. The postal service is the group that delivers mail.

This happened after the supreme court made a decision. The supreme court is the highest court in the US.

The supreme court removed an injunction. An injunction is a court order that stops something from happening.

This injunction had stopped part of Trump's order before. Now that part can happen again.

The states want a new court order to stop it. This story is still developing.
