Court Blocks Postal Voting Rules | Portland Maine News

A federal appeals court has blocked new Postal Service mail-in voting rules, calling them unnecessary and potentially voter-suppressing—especially as ballots are already being mailed in key states ahead of November’s elections. The rules, stemming from a presidential executive order, demanded strict federal tracking and ballot design standards, but judges found no credible fraud evidence to justify them and warned they could disenfranchise millions. While the Solicitor General pushes for Supreme Court intervention, election officials—including Republicans—agree it’s too late to implement changes without chaos. The case is expected to be fast-tracked once the Court returns. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
