U.S. Appeals Court Rejects Trump Administration's Mail-In Ballot Restrictions

A U.S. appeals court has declined to allow the Trump administration to implement a new U.S. Postal Service rule that would tighten mail-in voting requirements ahead of November's congressional elections. The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower-court injunction, preventing the USPS from enforcing the rule, which a judge concluded risked disenfranchising millions of voters and was likely unlawful.
