Appeals court hands Trump a loss on mail voting as Supreme Court considers his executive order
The panel said the Postal Service rule could cause chaos and widespread voter disenfranchisement ahead of the midterms.
- On Thursday, an appeals court upheld a block on President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting, a ruling arriving as the Supreme Court considers the same case.
- The 1st Circuit refused to lift a preliminary injunction against the order issued last week by District Court Judge Indira Talwani, finding the Postal Service's Final Rule likely unlawful.
- Agreeing with Democrats, the panel nominated by President Joe Biden ruled that Trump lacks power to regulate state election policy, prohibiting the Postal Service from implementing his directive.
- Election officials warn that compliance is impossible because states including Alabama, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have already begun sending mail ballots for the midterm election.
- Democrats and civil rights groups are pursuing a separate lawsuit in Washington to halt the order, while the Postal Service requires states pre-clear envelope designs for ballot delivery.
