JUST IN: Supreme Court Blocks Donald Trump’s Controversial Attempt to Require Voter ID for Every Single Vote, Rejecting His “No Exceptions” Rule as Unconstitutional

In a stunning and historic decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has blocked former President Donald Trump’s attempt to impose a nationwide “no exceptions” Voter ID requirement, calling the proposal a direct violation of constitutional voting rights.

The decision — handed down in a 6–3 ruling — comes after months of legal battles over Trump’s proposed measure, which sought to mandate government-issued photo ID for every single vote cast, including mail-in ballots, absentee voting, and even provisional ballots.

Trump and his allies argued the rule was necessary to “restore integrity to the ballot box” and “end election fraud once and for all.” But critics slammed the plan as a thinly veiled attempt at voter suppression, warning it would disenfranchise millions of Americans, particularly elderly citizens, low-income voters, and minority communities.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, stated:

“The right to vote cannot be conditioned on burdensome verification measures that have no proportional justification. The Constitution guarantees access, not obstruction.”
The ruling effectively halts Trump’s push to make Voter ID a federal requirement, reaffirming that states retain the right to regulate elections within constitutional limits.
Legal scholars are calling it a landmark rebuke of Trump’s post-presidency influence over election law — and a critical victory for voting rights advocates who feared a dramatic rollback of access ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Democrats and civil rights organizations hailed the ruling as a “defense of democracy itself.”
Senator Raphael Warnock said,

“This decision protects the voices of millions who would’ve been silenced by unnecessary and unconstitutional barriers.”
Meanwhile, Trump reacted furiously on Truth Social, accusing the Court of being “weak” and “anti-American,” promising,
“This fight isn’t over. We will restore fair elections — one way or another.”
As the political fallout spreads, the ruling marks a defining moment in the ongoing battle over how — and by whom — America’s elections are decided.
