Democratic States File New Lawsuit Seeking to Block Trump’s Order Limiting Mail Voting in Midterms
- On Wednesday, a coalition of 25 states and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro sued the U.S. Postal Service in federal court, seeking an emergency injunction to block a finalized mail-ballot rule they argue unlawfully usurps state election authority.
- President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March directing strict mail-in ballot standards; the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that previous challenges were premature because no final rule existed at that time.
- The finalized rule requires states to submit mail-voter lists to federal officials and adopt specific barcoded envelope designs. State officials warn these mandates impose 'enormous administrative and financial burdens' just weeks before the November midterms.
- U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani lifted her earlier nationwide injunction against the executive order on Wednesday, citing the Supreme Court's procedural ruling. States now challenge the USPS's finalized rule to overcome that ripeness barrier.
- Election officials warn that implementing these requirements before the first wave of ballots distributes next week is impossible, while the administration defends the rule as 'commonsense measures that protect the security of mail-in ballots.
