Judge blocks Trump order demanding Postal Service restrict mail voting
The decision marks a win for the states that have challenged the president’s effort to crack down on mail-in voting ahead of a consequential November midterm.

A federal judge in Massachusetts barred the Postal Service on Thursday from restricting the delivery of mail-in ballots to states that don’t hand over a list of eligible voters, rebuffing President Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on a voting method he has long targeted.

The agency, charged with delivering parcels to every address in the nation, neither possesses the constitutional authority to administer elections — a responsibility delegated to the states — nor has it been granted power by Congress to create binding regulations on voting by mail, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani stated in the decision.

The ruling is a victory for the 23 states and Washington, D.C., which sued the Trump administration over the president’s March executive order that demanded the agency implement such a rule.

Trump has repeatedly tried to overhaul election administration via executive orders, and other portions have previously been blocked by other federal judges. Talwani’s decision also blocks another part of the executive order directing the federal government to compile a list of American citizens residing in states.
