Trump administration appeals Supreme Court ruling on mail ballot restrictions

In the United States, the Trump administration has renewed its appeal to the Supreme Court after a federal judge blocked new restrictions on mail ballots. This legal action comes as states begin mailing ballots for the upcoming midterm elections, raising concerns about potential confusion and chaos. Solicitor General John Sauer highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating that compliance with the new rules must be mandatory. The implications of this appeal are significant, as nearly one-third of voters in the U.S. cast mail ballots, and control of Congress is at stake.

Doesnt ballot arrangement fall under jurisdiction of states, not the federal government? Trump has been advocating for delegating more powers to states (such as in case of education, disaster relief, abortion), but then he tries to interfere into the ballot process. Feels like double standards.
