What happened
A coalition of 24 states and the District of Columbia sued the U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday to block a final rule published last Friday that would impose new federal requirements on mail ballots before the November midterm elections. The rule, issued in response to President Donald Trump’s March 31 executive order, would bar delivery of ballots from states that do not provide required voter information to USPS. The new case follows a Supreme Court ruling on Monday that found an earlier challenge to the executive order premature.
