Judge Removes Hurdle for Trump Mail Voting Order
The ruling follows a Supreme Court decision that found the earlier challenge premature, while the Postal Service’s new ballot rule faces a fresh lawsuit from 25 states.
- On Wednesday, District Judge Indira Talwani lifted a nationwide block on President Trump's mail-in voting executive order, following The Supreme Court's decision that a separate challenge to the order was premature.
- The Supreme Court ruled that lower courts lacked authority to block the order because USPS regulations were not finalized when Democratic-led States sued, prompting The DOJ to request the injunction's removal.
- Published Wednesday in the Federal Register, the rule requires mail-in ballots to feature a unique logo and barcodes with an embedded ZIP code; States must submit tracking information through a federal portal.
- Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and Secretary of State Steve Hobbs announced a new lawsuit against The USPS on Wednesday, joined by 25 other Democratic-led States challenging the finalized rule.
- Talwani is overseeing this new case, noting that The League of Women Voters has "substantial arguments that might persuade The Supreme Court to reach a different result" if given the opportunity.
