President Donald Trump has won a temporary court victory in his effort to change mail voting rules. The Supreme Court on Monday paused a lower court ruling that had blocked key parts of his March executive order. But the ruling does not end the legal fight.

Instead, the justices focused on whether 23 states and Washington, DC, had the legal right to challenge the order. Most of those states are led by…
