Federal Judge Again Blocks Trump's Mail-Voting Executive Order for 2026 Midterms

A federal judge has delivered another setback to President Donald Trump's efforts to restrict mail-in voting for the 2026 midterm elections, blocking the U.S. Postal Service from implementing parts of his executive order issued earlier this year. This marks the second legal hold on the order, with the first currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, making it less likely the executive order will be in effect for the November election. The ruling specifically blocked the Postal Service from restricting absentee voting nationwide.
