Second federal judge blocks Trump administration mail-in voting rule
A Washington-based federal judge issued an order late Sunday to stop the US Postal Service from implementing new mail-in voting restrictions while the Supreme Court reviews a separate case.
Judge stops USPS rule implementation
District Judge Carl Nichols granted a preliminary injunction against the new regulation. The judge ruled that the rule exceeded the Postal Service's authority and could make voting harder for some people. This decision follows a request from the Democratic Party challenging the federal government's actions.
Supreme Court case pending
The US Supreme Court is still weighing an administration request to overturn another order blocking the rule. A ruling on that separate emergency request could arrive any time. The high court considers this as Republicans battle for control of Congress in the November 3 midterms.
