Federal judge extends block on Trump executive order seeking to limit mail voting in the midterms
The ruling blocks new Postal Service ballot checks that judges said could disenfranchise millions of mail voters before the midterm elections.
- District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction on Friday, extending her block on President Donald Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting for the midterms. The ruling replaces her temporary order as states begin distributing ballots.
- Democrats and voting rights groups filed multiple lawsuits challenging the order, arguing the Constitution grants Congress, not Trump, authority over voting procedures. Their legal challenge emerged after Trump issued the executive order in March.
- North Carolina began distributing mail ballots on Friday, with more states expected to follow swiftly. Election officials contend there is insufficient time to revise their systems to comply with the new Postal Service directives.
- Trump is expected to appeal Talwani's latest ruling, continuing the legal battle as the midterms approach. Control of Congress remains at stake, heightening the urgency of the unresolved dispute.
- The Supreme Court overturned a previous challenge last month as premature, pointedly declining to rule on the legality of Trump's moves. This leaves fundamental constitutional questions about presidential authority unresolved heading into the election cycle.
