Judge Blocks USPS Mail Ballot Rules | Charleston News

A federal judge has slapped a 14-day pause on new USPS mail-in ballot rules that would’ve forced special logos and barcodes — sparking outrage from 26 states and voting rights groups who say it’s unconstitutional and could disenfranchise voters. Judge Indira Talwani sided with the states, calling the changes “overwhelmingly risky” for mail voters, especially as ballots are already being prepared. The ruling reverses a prior Supreme Court decision and gives states crucial breathing room ahead of elections, while courts continue to weigh whether these federal mandates violate state election authority.
