Judge Blocks Trump’s Ballot Rule | Phoenix News

A federal judge has halted a Trump-era executive order that would’ve forced the USPS to only send mail-in ballots if states provided voter lists — a move seen as a major blow to election access. Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled the directive violates a prior court agreement placing oversight in judicial hands, and this nationwide injunction marks a pivotal moment in the legal battle over voting rights. With courts increasingly stepping in on election issues — including a recent block on non-citizen voter registration — the ruling underscores the tension between executive actions and ballot accessibility. The White House insists the order is lawful and vows to keep fighting, but for now, the Postal Service must keep mail-in ballots flowing without state voter lists.
