Federal judge lifts nationwide block on mail-in voting restrictions

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston lifted a nationwide block on mail-in voting restrictions on Wednesday. This decision follows a recent Supreme Court ruling and grants the Justice Department's request to reconsider a previous injunction. While this removes the final major legal obstacle for the Trump administration to implement its policy before the November midterms, the order was without prejudice, allowing plaintiffs to amend complaints and seek new injunctions against the final Postal Service rule.
