Federal Court Blocks USPS from Enforcing Rule Restricting Mail Ballots for November Election

A federal district court has issued a preliminary injunction preventing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from enforcing key parts of a rule that would have restricted mail voting, finding it likely unconstitutional and unlawful. The court stated that enforcing the rule would make voter disenfranchisement 'practically inevitable' and that the USPS lacks authority over how states administer mail voting. The injunction will remain in place through the November 3 election.
