Judge Blocks Trump's Election Order | Boston News

A federal judge has dealt a major blow to President Trump’s controversial executive order aimed at reshaping mail-in voting and involving the Postal Service in election rules, blocking its core components just as midterms loom. Judge Indira Talwani, who previously paused the order, now fully sided with state attorneys general, citing the urgent need to prevent last-minute election changes. The ruling follows lawsuits from groups like the League of Women Voters and comes after the administration sought Supreme Court intervention. Voting rights advocates hailed it as a constitutional victory, arguing the executive branch lacks authority to rewrite election laws — a power reserved for states and Congress. The White House insists the move is about election security, while the Postal Service had already drafted related rules, now on hold. This marks another legal setback for the administration, echoing past defeats on similar voter ID orders — despite the president’s ongoing claims of fraud, backed by audits showing no systemic issues.
