U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary order preventing the United States Postal Service from increasing its oversight of mail-in voting, following an executive order from President Donald Trump that would effectively employ the Postal Service as the primary enforcer of mail-voter eligibility.
Talwani blocked the newly finalized rule for at least 14 days.
The same judge had previously blocked Trump's executive order but lifted that decision on Wednesday after the Supreme Court ruled Monday she had initially acted too quickly.
