Court blocks Trump’s mail-ballot order again as election rules clash intensifies

A federal judge blocked President Trump's executive order aimed at altering mail-in voting rules, marking another setback in the administration's bid to change election procedures. The injunctions were issued in separate Boston cases ahead of the November midterms, reflecting arguments that election rules are set by states or Congress, not the presidency or the Postal Service. The Supreme Court later struck down one holds, allowing plaintiffs to refile, while opponents contended the move could undermine election integrity; experts note that mail-in voting fraud remains exceedingly rare.
