Reversal: Judge Talwani blocks mail-voting limits

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction against President Trump’s March order on mail voting. The ruling bars the U.S. Postal Service from taking any steps to carry it out for this year’s midterm elections. The order would have created a federal voter list and drawn the Postal Service into election operations in ways that would limit mail ballots.

Talwani sided with the League of Women Voters and other groups and noted the administration has not defended the order’s constitutionality. “The executive branch has no authority to regulate elections,” she wrote, pointing to the need to avoid last minute rule changes less than 90 days before Nov. 3.
