Federal Appeals Court Blocks Trump Administration's Mail-Ballot Rules; Supreme Court Asked to Intervene

A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration's mail-ballot rules, concluding that the regulations likely overstep the executive agency's authority by regulating the 'manner' of congressional elections, which the Constitution assigns to states and Congress. The administration has filed an emergency application asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the injunction and allow the rule to take effect less than two months before the November 3 election.
