Appeals court hands Trump a loss on mail voting as Supreme Court considers his executive order
- On Thursday, the First Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Trump administration's request to lift a preliminary injunction, maintaining a block on new U.S. Postal Service mail-ballot rules before the November midterms.
- President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March directing the Postal Service to implement new mail-in ballot standards, which District Judge Indira Talwani subsequently blocked after finding it likely unlawful.
- Citing a lack of evidence for fraud, the appellate panel ruled the administration failed to demonstrate the rule would avoid "chaos and widespread voter disenfranchisement" ahead of the November 3 election.
- Election officials in Alabama, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have already begun distributing mail ballots, creating an immediate compliance crisis the court warned would likely disenfranchise voters if regulations were reinstated.
- The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the administration's repeated requests to stay the injunction, leaving the Postal Service's directive blocked through the November 3, 2026, midterms.
