Judges pause Trump USPS mail-ballot rule as Supreme Court weighs appeal

Two federal judges blocked the Postal Service from enforcing Trump’s mail-ballot changes ahead of the midterms, adding to a prior injunction in Boston as the Supreme Court weighs the administration’s appeal. The rule would require pre-approval of ballot envelope designs and uploading recipient data to a Postal Service portal, a shift officials say would be hard to implement near Election Day and could disenfranchise voters, while supporters argue it would curb fraud.
