Judge Blocks Trump’s Mail-in Voting Rules | Philadelphia News

A federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked key parts of Trump’s mail-in voting restrictions, stopping the Postal Service from blocking ballots for voters not on federal lists and banning bar code requirements—both deemed unenforceable and unsupported by evidence. The judge emphasized that states are already preparing ballots for next week, making last-minute changes impossible, and noted the administration’s lack of proof that non-citizen voting is widespread. Voting rights groups warn these rules could cause chaos in pivotal November elections, a concern the judge echoed. The White House plans to appeal, marking the second time this judge has halted the order. Meanwhile, 23 states refiled their lawsuit after the Postal Service finalized rules, potentially sending the case back to the Supreme Court.
