NAACP and Civil Rights Groups Secure Injunction Against USPS Mail-in Ballot Rule

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted a renewed motion for preliminary injunction, halting a United States Postal Service (USPS) rule that civil rights groups argued threatened to block the delivery of valid mail-in ballots ahead of upcoming elections. The NAACP and other groups stated that the court's decision reaffirms that the executive branch lacks authority to rewrite election rules.
