Trump Mail Voting Blocked

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston blocked key portions of President Donald Trump’s March executive order seeking to reshape mail voting and federal election administration. The ruling halted plans to create federal lists of citizens or eligible voters and to let the U.S. Postal Service limit delivery of mail ballots based on those lists, finding that the president exceeded his constitutional authority over state-run elections. Democratic-led states challenging the order argued the administration was trying to impose federal control over voting rules without congressional approval, while the White House defended the measure as an election-integrity safeguard. The injunction prevents the challenged provisions from taking effect as lawsuits continue, marking another court setback for Trump’s broader push to tighten voting rules.
