    A federal judge in Boston on Tuesday temporarily blocked the U.S. Postal Service nationwide from implementing part of President Trump's executive order for mail-in voting restrictions. Why it matters: The ruling effectively freezes a key piece of Trump's attempted overhaul of mail-in voting. His executive order had enabled the USPS to refuse to deliver ballots to states that did not cooperate with the Postal Service on preventing what the administration has claimed is rampant voting by...

    A federal judge on Tuesday expanded an earlier block on part of President Trump's executive order seeking to tighten rules for mail-in voting ahead of November's elections. Why it matters: The ruling freezes a key piece of Trump's attempted overhaul of mail-in voting for all U.S. states. A previous ruling in a separate case had limited a block for the 23 Democratic states that sued over the president's order. Trump's executive order had enabled the USPS to refuse to deliver ballots to states...

    President Trump can implement an executive order restricting mail-in ballots just months before the midterm elections, the Supreme Court said Monday . Why it matters: The decision will upend midterm elections, putting election officials and administrators on a tight deadline to comply with the rule changes and aggravate privacy concerns for voters. Trump has opposed mail-in voting for years, claiming without evidence that it contributes to fraud in elections. One in three Americans voted by...

    President Trump can implement an executive order restricting mail-in ballots just months before the midterm elections, the Supreme Court said Monday . Why it matters: It's a win for the president, who has opposed mail-in voting for years, but the legal battle is far from over, and the exact impact on November's elections is still unclear. Driving the news: The Supreme Court said in the unsigned order that states lack standing to challenge the executive order because it was an "internal...

    President Trump's push to restrict mail-in voting through the U.S. Postal Service could allow the federal government to exert control over voting data and state-run elections, voting rights groups say. Why it matters: The proposed rule could scramble the 2026 midterms by forcing local and state officials to adopt an untested federal system on short notice and potentially undermine confidence in U.S. elections.
