What happened
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani
Indira TalwaniAmerican federal judge (born 1960) in Boston issued a 14-day temporary restraining order blocking the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing core parts of a new mail-ballot rule tied to President Donald Trump’s March executive order. The rule would require USPS review of state ballot-envelope designs and add federal controls before November’s midterm elections. Washington, 24 other states and voting-rights groups challenged the changes as disruptive to established mail-voting systems. The Justice Department appealed to the 1st CircuitCourt of Appeals for the First Circuitfederal appellate court, extending litigation after the Supreme Court’s Aug. 24 stay of an earlier injunction.
