Judge Pauses Trump Mail Voting Order Again as Midterms Near
- On Thursday, District Court Judge Indira Talwani halted President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting in Boston, placing a 14-day hold on the directive just before midterm ballots are scheduled for distribution.
- The Supreme Court struck down Talwani's previous hold on Monday, ruling legal challenges were premature, but plaintiffs refiled lawsuits after the administration issued formal rules governing how The Postal Service will handle ballots.
- Talwani noted that states lack the time and funds to redesign ballots, update systems, and train officials to comply with new requirements; The Postal Service mandates specific voter lists and envelope formatting from states.
- Democrats and voting rights groups argue the mandate is unconstitutional, contending The Constitution grants election rule-making power to states and Congress, not the President or The Postal Service.
- A 2025 Brookings Institution report found mail voting fraud is extremely rare, occurring in only four cases out of every 10 million ballots cast, while a hearing on the matter is scheduled for Sept. 3.
