A federal judge expanded a block on President Trump's executive order requiring the U.S. Postal Service to determine who receives mail-in ballots, pausing implementation of Section 3 for this year's and earlier federal elections while awaiting a Supreme Court ruling.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Judicial blocks on USPS control over mail-in ballots keep federal elections open to current voting processes. You must plan for continued mail-in voting access without new USPS restrictions this election cycle.
