What happened
A 2-1 panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of AppealsCourt of Appeals for the First Circuitfederal appellate court rejected the Trump administration’s request to lift an injunction blocking key parts of President Donald Trump’s March executive order on mail voting. The order sought to create a federal list of eligible voters and limit mail-ballot delivery to voters on that list. The injunction bars the U.S. Postal Service from refusing to deliver ballots in nearly half of U.S. states while the litigation proceeds. The ruling keeps those restrictions off the table ahead of the November midterm elections.
