President Donald Trump’s campaign, along with the Republican National Committee and others, on Oct. 25 again asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block North Carolina’s plan to extend a deadline to nine days from three for receiving and counting absentee and mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.

The campaign initially filed an application for an emergency injunction to the Supreme Court on Oct. 22 (pdf) after a federal appeals court decision last week left the state’s deadline extension in place.
