Judge Blocks Trump’s Mail Voting Order | Portland News

A federal judge just struck down another Trump-era executive order aimed at controlling mail-in voting, calling it an unconstitutional overreach. The order sought to have the USPS only send ballots to voters pre-approved by the federal government — a move Oregon and 21 other states fiercely opposed. Oregon’s Attorney General and Secretary of State hailed the ruling as a victory for democracy, emphasizing that states, not the federal government, must manage their elections. The judge also rejected proposed USPS rules that would’ve further restricted voting by mail, warning that undermining public trust in elections outweighs any executive claim to control. This latest win continues Oregon’s long legal battle against Trump administration efforts to interfere with voting rights — and reinforces the state’s commitment to secure, accessible vote-by-mail systems.
