Trump’s mail ballot executive order blocked in ruling that will likely be quickly appealed

Federal Judge Indira Talwani has issued a 14-day hold on an executive order from President Trump that aimed to limit mail voting. This ruling comes shortly before the midterm elections, blocking the implementation of the order. Legal experts anticipate that this judicial decision will be quickly appealed. The ruling impacts the administration of vote-by-mail processes, as seen in activities at the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Office during the Florida primary election on August 18, 2026.
