US Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Executive Order Limiting Mail-In Voting Ahead of Midterms
A US federal judge, Indira Talwani, temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order aimed at restricting mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections. The order required states to provide voter lists and specific ballot formats for the Postal Service to deliver mail ballots. The judge ruled that states could not meet these new requirements in time, calling the regulation likely unconstitutional. The Trump administration plans to appeal. This legal dispute follows the Supreme Court lifting an earlier block on the order, prompting renewed challenges from Democratic states and voting rights groups.
