Court blocks USPS mail-in rule changes ahead of 2026 midterms
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction blocking key parts of Trump's executive order tightening mail-in voting, including a rule that would have prevented USPS from transmitting ballots for states that do not provide federal voter lists. The ruling halts those provisions for the 2026 midterms but allows nonbinding USPS guidance; the DOJ plans to appeal and the plaintiffs must post a $100 bond by August 18.
