Appeals Court Rejects Trump Mail-In Ballot Rules
A federal appeals court has declined to allow the administration to implement a new postal service rule tightening mail-in voting requirements. The panel found the rule would likely disenfranchise millions of voters while the Supreme Court weighs a similar request.
A federal appeals court blocked the United States administration from enforcing new postal service voting restrictions on Thursday, preserving mail-in ballot access ahead of congressional elections. The ruling arrived as the Supreme Court considers an emergency request from the administration to lift the block. The judicial clash centers on a rule requiring unique barcodes and voter registry lists for all mail-in ballots.
