Judge finds USPS mail-ballot rule violates voting injunction

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled the Trump administration violated her nationwide injunction by issuing and pursuing new USPS mail-ballot design rules, rejecting the argument that merely publishing the rule didn’t breach the order; the injunction remains in effect until after the 2026 midterms and Talwani declined to grant the LWV's requested remedies. Separately, the Supreme Court paused a related challenge and left room for action on the final rule, with the administration arguing this supports vacating the injunction; states involved plan to sue once the final rule is published.
