Judge expands block on Trump's mail-in voting order
The short version
- The block specifically targets Postal Service actions tied to the mail-in voting order.
- The ruling comes ahead of the midterms, according to multiple reports.
- This marks a second instance of a judge barring implementation of the order, per WTOP.
A federal judge has expanded an existing block on efforts by the Trump administration to have the U.S. Postal Service restrict mail-in voting. The ruling bars the administration from implementing an order that sought to limit mail voting ahead of the midterms. Multiple outlets, including Reuters, Bloomberg, NPR, The Guardian, WTOP and Fox News, reported on the judge's action. The decision extends a previous injunction that had already halted related Postal Service work tied to the order.
