Judge Indira Talwani Issues Temporary Block on New USPS Mail-in Voting Rule
- U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has issued a temporary order blocking a new rule from the Trump administration that restricts mail-in voting for at least 14 days.
- The ruling prevents the United States Postal Service from increasing its oversight of mail-in voting eligibility, which was part of Trump's executive order.
- Talwani's decision follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that reinstated her previous block on the executive order, which she had lifted just days prior.
