Nationwide injunction against Trump's mail-in voting order
Developing
Where it stands
A federal judge’s nationwide injunction bars the Postal Service from implementing challenged provisions of Trump’s mail-in voting order while litigation continues. On Aug. 29, a judge also temporarily blocked a Postal Service oversight rule, allowing states to keep using existing mail-in voting systems; the litigation and the injunction’s final status remain unresolved.
